Unanswered questions:
None ATM ;)

Answered questions:
1- 28 Pin DIP socket, what is it's function? (Yes I searched before asking)
2- Is it the same if I connect the servos ground to the 9v battery ground or 5v(regulated) ground? (I'm using battery pack)
Thanks.

so when u kill your ATmega chip , you can pop it out and replace it with a new one

That's it?
So if I'm using a breadboard I don't need it right??

right

Great! Thanks a lot mate!

all grounds should be connected together everywhere.
if you are using more than one battery pack in a circuit you will need to connect all grounds together.
your servo ground should definitely be connected to the GND on your 9v battery AND your 5v(regulated) GND.
i don't know the details of your circuit but 9V will be too much for your servos.
you will need to power then from a 5-6V source. (again make sure all the GNDs are tied together.)

Woot thanks mate! ;D
I'm using a 6V for the servos and 9V regulated to 5V for the micro and digital inputs.

If you are going to use a 9v battery and regulate it to 5v you are gonna waste lot of energy and your regulator is going to emit a lot of heat.

I'm following the $50 robot tutorial ???

you can use the 9V but I'm just saying that using 6V is more efficient. ;)

Oh I see, yeah I understand. Thanks mate.
