Esc: Back button; F1: Menu button; Home: Home button.
Really really cool!
Vysor (by Koushik Dutta aka Koush) lets you not only share and control your Android device screen from your local Chrome browser, but also remotely to others having a Chrome browser with Vysor installed. And Vysor gives you full ADB access to your Android device.
Some links to get started:
To get started:
- Enable ADB on your Android phone.
- Connect your Android phone over USB to your computer.
- Start Vysor.
- Connect.
- Enjoy.
After connecting over ADB, Vysor sideloads the Android code to share both screen and input. So besides viewing your screen, you can then control it.
Of course your mouse works, including scrolling. And the keyboard for entering text.
There are also some special keys:
- Esc: Back button;
- F1: Menu button;
- Home: Home button.

This was a search for ISDN S0 bus: https://www.google.com/search?q=ISDN+S0+bus
Google thinks it is in German, but it is in English: even the html tag indicates it is in English:
<!doctype html><html itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/SearchResultsPage" lang="en"><head><meta content="/images/google_favicon_128.png" itemprop="image"><meta content="origin" id="mref" name="referrer">
I cannot change the page so nothing I can use from the suggestions in html – Why does Chrome incorrectly determine page is in a different language and offer to translate? – Stack Overflow.
Anybody knows what can I do to prevent this wrong guess?
Can anyone from +GoogleTranslate please step in?

I like this: the plug-up affordable FIDO U2F Security Key by HAPPLINK.
You could already use it for Google 2nd factor authentication (2FA) through Chrome. You can do this from your own applications for instance through the U2F reference implementation.
Now you can also as 2FA to DropBox, also through Chrome. And it is easy with the plug-up key (Thanks Kristian):
Uuuund… umgestellt. Das war ja einfach.

Es gibt andere Fido Token, die können mehr. Ich nehme dieses, das kostet fast nix und man kann die kaufen und verteilen wie Konfetti.
Or inside the Europe mainland, for instance in:

Thanks to Ronnie Bincer, here is my start URL to find back posts and comments I made:
Note that
- since my account is named and does not have an ID any more, I had to twiddle that URL a bit
- https://plus.google.com/100853746448364695376 is a throw away account for a place that plays HTTPS man-in-the-middle on everyone using their network.

There are differences between the encrypted Google search at https://encrypted.google.com and the ordinary HTTPS Google search at https://google.com:
Originally, the regular Google.com and http://www.Google.com usage was without HTTPS, and encrypted.Google.com was using HTTPS.
Even after HTTPS support was added to all Google subdomains there is still a difference in the referer handling: encrypted.Google.com is much safer.

Note you need to scroll quite a bit down in chrome://settings/content to enable this. In the man time, nothing beats The Great Suspender: a plugin that just suspends inactive tabs to they do not use any CPU or memory at all.
Chrome will pause plugin content (e.g. Flash animations) to improve battery life: http://bit.ly/1dQj2o9 – give it a try!
“This feature will be enabled by default on Chrome’s latest desktop Beta channel release starting today, and will be rolling out soon to everyone else on Chrome desktop. If you need to manually enable it, just head to Chrome’s content settings and select ‘Detect and run important plugin content’.”

In addition to the 1.5 year old Android Device Manager option to find your phone as of yesterday you can now also perform aFind My Phone from Google Search.
So you can now use these URLs to find your phone (or tablet):
For both you need to be logged in, so if you have 2-factor login requiring your phone, you’re out of luck (;
And it works only for Android, but does not work on Android (at least not on my KitKat powered phone).

Thanks David Millington for pointing me to How to move your Google Code project to GitHub.
A small quote from it:
By the end of this article, you will have:
- Moved the repository, including commit history, from the Google Code project to a new GitHub project
- Updated the Google Code project to redirect to the new project location
- Updated the Google Code repository so users updating will find out they need to use the new project location
- Set up some basic project settings in your new GitHub project.
