WORRIED OF SETTING PROXY IN ANDROID MOBILE HERE IS A SOLUTION FOR IT....
What is a proxy server?
Proxy is a server that controls all the information that goes from your device to the internet, the main reason its used is for companies that want to limit/control the access to sites and/or monitor the access addresses done by a user, this can be transparent or not
The transparent proxy does not required a extra configuration on the device, it works without configuration and acts as the name says, transparent. In my opinion this is the best proxy, since it speeds up the internet access with its internal cache and controls the users/sites without any configuration
The authenticated proxy requires configurations like usernames and password, without authenticating the internet wont work on your device (it can be only for webpages but also can be used for the hole web access)
Most Android devices(except few as Sony Ericsson wt19i,...)don't have this configuration and then the internet does not work when there is a proxy server, but not all is lost,thanks to the Max Lv developers, there is a alternative
ProxyDroid :
ProxyDroid is the best way ( In my opinion) to access a proxy server and clear that internet for you, unfortunately it requires root access, but if you have a rooted device, this will work as a charm
First of all you need to install proxydroid from market , Its free!
After that, run proxy droid and allow the root access
ProxyDroid is quite easy to configure, it has only a few options but those are very good options
First of all you need to setup the Host and Port of the proxy server, if you dont know that, you can enter the Connection Settings on your Browser and get that info from there
You will probably also need to activate the authentication, since most proxy server required that Enter your username and password and Activate the “Proxy Switch”
Proxy droid will setup everything for you! ( gtalk, gmail, market, browser )
Another perfect option is the Auto Connect option, it only activates proxy droid if you are connected to that specific network, so if you go home for example proxydroid wont enable
Play Android games on your windows system with android emulators
Bluestacks is a Silicon Valley-based software company that produces BlueStacks App Player and BlueStacks Cloud Connect. Both products revolve around enabling Android applications to run on Macintosh computers, Windows PCs and Windows tablets.

which are, of course, completely free.
Google chrome and Mozilla's Firefox is leading browsers and they compete each other to provide their best product to user's.On the other hand when we compare speed, reliability,feature set, compatibility,security one lies behind the other in any one.But overall when we compare Chrome is better than Firefox.
I would like to share my experience on working with two browser's.On beginning i was using firefox as it was my favourite browser and it had feature set needed for that time,like firebug, video downloader and bla bla...After I shifted my OS from windows to UBUNTU i was unable to play games.Then got bored and played games in some online websites and FB.While playing my firefox browser goes to ' NOT RESPONDING ' state too often and it was a frustrating moment.Even after i reinstall my browser 4 to 5 times i had same problem.At Last i shifted my browser from firefox to chrome.And i felt no such problem with chrome.Even now i play tons of games in online and i felt no such problems.
Also when i referred with some of my friends, they too had the same problem with firefox and shifted to chrome.Along with Firefox and chrome, opera and IE also plays a vital role in providing good browsing to its user.
STEP 1: BACK UP!
Before you attempt this, however, you should back up your existing Windows PC. You never know what will happen when installing a pre-release OS. At the very least back up all your photos, videos, and documents. A complete image backup of your hard disk is preferable, however. Windows 7 has a built-in backup feature to secure your data files, but for image backup, you'll need third-party software such as ShadowProtect Desktop, or of your Choice.You can also use online data backup sites such as DropBox.com,or of your Choice.
STEP 2: PARTITION You'll have to create a partition of at least 16GB (20GB for 64-bit Windows 8) for your side-by-side Windows 8 installation. To do this, type "disk management" in the Start button's text box, which will display a "Create and format hard disk partitions" choice at the top of the Start panel. Click on that to open the Disk Management utility. You'll probably have two partitions. Right-click on the largest one, and choose Shrink Volume from the context menu.
A "Querying Shrink Space" dialog will appear for a while, then another message will tell you how much free space can be squeezed out of the drive in MB. Enter a size above 16GB for the 32-bit version of Windows 8 and over 20GB for the 64-bit flavor, and then hit the Shrink button. This will create an Unallocated section equal to the size you chose in the chart at the bottom of the window. Leave it be for now, we'll let the Windows 8 installer take over from here.
STEP 3: DOWNLOAD THE INSTALLER
Now it's time to actually get your copy of Windows 8, which at this point means the Release Preview.{You can get it from Windows 8 Release Preview ISO download page}. You have a choice between 32-bit and 64-bit; since most modern PCs are 64-bit capable, that's a better choice. Use Windows 7's included disc image burning utility to create an installer DVD from the ISO file once you've downloaded it, or you can create a bootable USB key using the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. You must boot to the upgrade disk or USB drive: You can't create a dual-boot system by starting the installer within Windows while it's running.
STEP 4: RUN THE WINDOWS 8 INSTALLER Pop in the installer DVD you burned or the USB stick you prepared, and restart your PC. Choose your language, then "Install Now." The product key is on the ISO download page (for reference, it's TK8TP-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF). Accept the prerelease software license, and after this, choose Custom and not Upgrade. Now is when you're presented with the choice of partitions, click "Drive options (advanced)" and then select the Unallocated space we created in step 2. Next, click New from the drive options icons below. Accept the full size displayed, and hit Apply.
Now we've got a fresh partition to on which to install Windows 8 onto. Hit Next, and setup is off and running. Go have a coffee or other snack of your choice; it takes about 20 minutes. Note there was no choice for specifically creating a multi-boot setup—since you used a separate partition, that will be enabled automatically.
Your system will reboot into Windows 8, where you'll go through the typical first-run options of choosing a color pattern, WiFi connection, and Microsoft account. The next time you restart your system, however, you'll see this Windows 8 multi-boot menu before the OS starts:
By default, this screen displays for 30 seconds, and then Windows 8 launches. To change that default to your older OS, choose "Change defaults or other options" from the bottom of this multi-boot screen. Here you can change the timer value and the default boot operating system. You can also use troubleshooting tools like Refreshing or Resetting your PC, and you also have access to advanced options like system recovery and a command prompt.
And that's about all there is to say about multibooting with Windows 8.

Install Wine if you haven’t, either by Synaptic Package Manager, or command line –sudo apt-get install wine
You need two DLLs (dynamic link library) files, get them here . Extract and copy mfc42.dll and msvco60.dll into both folders (I access from Main Menu>Wine>Browse C:/ drive):
wine/drive_c/windows/system
wine/drive_c/windows/system32
Download Ultrasurf, extract the execute file into the base wine directory; wine/drive_c
Right click on Ultrasurf (mines called u1006.exe) and select ‘Open with Wine Windows Program Launcher’
In Ultrasurf goto Option> Proxy settings and select Auto Detect Proxy. Also tick ‘do not use IE’ in Options.
Now goto Main Menu> Settings> Preferences> Network Proxy. Create a new location, I call mine ‘Blocked’, in this location select Manual Proxy and tick use same protocol for all. In HTTP Proxy put localhost and port 9666.
I use Firefox for my normal browsing and Chrome for my proxy browsing. In Chrome goto Preferences> Under the hood> Change Proxy Settings. Select the location you just created and now your browsing will be redirected via the Ultrasurf proxy.
Whenever Ultrasurf is running there should be a small padlock in the bottom right corner.
Update: If you download the Ultrasurf addon for Firefox, install the api, it will create an icon or text on you status bar. Click this and it will automatically change your proxy settings, click it again to go back to normal. This is the best way I have found accessing blocked sites in Ubuntu.
The first and the simplest step on How to open blocked torrent sites is to try using https:// instead of http:// the example could be seen below in the image
# step 2
the other step that you can take to open blocked torrent sites is pinging a site. Pinging a site means that you find the equivalent IP of that website. This could easily be done by using ping command in DOS. To ping a site just open MS DOS on to your computer by going into run and typing cmd and pressing enter. When a dos screen opens just write ping followed by the website address and press enter. This would give you the equivalent IP address of that website put that address on to your browser and try to open the website through that. Below is the image to explain the procedure.
# step 3
If the above two tricks fail then try out this one. Download any of the proxy breaking software that helps you to break the restrictions and provide you the access to the the desired website. The software that I would recommend you is UltraSurf.
# step 4
There are chances that the system you are working on does not have the admins access to download and install any software so the trick number # 3 would be waste for you. In this case you can try out proxy breaking websites these websites will allow you to open the blocked websites by using the IP address of some other location or country so your ISP would not be able to recognize that you are accessing the torrent website. Some of these types of website than can help you on how to open blocked torrent sites are as follows.

The BackTrack Project is funded by Offensive Security,
a professional training service for information security specialists in
a wide range of industries. The distribution itself is on its fourth
release and is aimed to be a one-stop shop for every security tool on
the market. As the distribution has gained notoriety, it has seen over
four million downloads of its latest version. While BackTrack is aimed
at being used as a live distribution either from a USB or DVD medium, it
can be installed as a computer's primary operating system. Although Ubuntu-derived, it uses KDE by default, unlike Ubuntu's adoption of the GNOME desktop environment.
Usability :
Since
BackTrack uses the KDE environment by default, the interface is
intuitive, graphical, and extraordinarily easy to set up and use. There
are a number of applications already installed that make it easily
configurable on just about any type of network, allowing you to add
Windows file or printer shares using Samba or even connect easily to
some of the more advanced wireless networks since the system comes with
Wicd as the network manager. Wine also comes pre-bundled with BackTrack
4, allowing you to run Windows applications right out of the box. Along
with the basic KDE tool set and application suite, BackTrack has a
variety of applications for both penetration testing purposes and user
accommodation.
Applications :
For Web browsing, BackTrack includes Konqueror and Firefox along with Lynx, the popular text-only Web browser. Other Internet
applications include the XChat graphical IRC client and Liferea for RSS
news feed reading.
Kopete is the default instant messenger, but since
Backtrack uses the Synaptic Package Manager, you can easily replace it
with the more popular Gaim or Pidgin clients if need be. Most uses of
BackTrack do not include chatting however, so this function will most
likely not be an issue for you. BackTrack also comes with a number of
Internet services including HTTP, MySQL, SSH, and VNC servers for the
quick and easy implementation of network services when needed. Where
BackTrack really begins to make an impression though is when you begin
to look at the wide and varied tool set that the developers have decided
to include.
Tools :
Backtrack
comes with hundreds of tools, including both command line and graphical
versions from a variety of assessment and analysis projects. The main
tool category is composed of twelve sub-categories with many of the
options overlapping. However, despite the amount of overlap, BackTrack
comes with a few hundred security tools, enough to keep anyone chock
full of information regarding the networks or systems they are currently
using.
Wireless :
By
far the most popular use of BackTrack is for cracking wireless
network's WEP keys on the fly. The current release comes with many
of the patched drivers that support packet injection, enabling users to
inject ARP packets and speed up the cracking process. Popular programs
such as aircrack-ng and Kismet are included, but BackTrack comes with
close to one hundred wireless auditing tools, including Bluetooth and
RFID tools. The list of radio tools is above and beyond what most people
would ever need to use, but provides a lot of tinkering room for the
curious. This tends to be the theme for much of BackTrack's tools
however, above and beyond to encompass any tool set a user might wish to
play with.
Exploitation :
Another
popular use for BackTrack is for the delivering of exploitation
payloads through penetration frameworks such as Metasploit or FastTrack.
This is where BackTrack becomes truly useful for security researchers
and hackers all along the slide of the ethical spectrum. With a massive
exploitation database and a number of online resources for expanding
that database, BackTrack comes with all of the necessary tools to
practically point-and-click your way into a system. Once inside,
BackTrack goes further and has over one-hundred tools for privilege
escalation, access tunneling, and digital forensics. If most of the
tools were not console-based, it would certainly run down the system to
use too many of them at once. In any case though, BackTrack is packed to
the gills when it comes to exploitation.
Information Gathering :
BackTrack
also shines when it comes to the number of tools available for
information gathering and network mapping. While sporting some of the
most valuable mapping and organizational tools, such as Maltego or
Dradis, BackTrack also comes with a number of search engine and data
harvesting tools for developing a large database on any target. While
including the basic network mapping utilities such as Hping3, Nmap, and
Unicornscan, it goes above and beyond in providing another dozen options
for a range of uses from service and OS fingerprinting to VPN scanning.
Furthermore, Backtrack includes a number of Cisco auditing tools along
with OpenVas, the free GPL fork of the popular Nessus vulnerability
scanner.
Community :
A
Linux distribution is defined by its community and user base. These are
the people that maintain the forums and wikis that help new users
figure out what is different about the way this distribution does
things. These are the people that populate the IRC channel twenty-four
hours a day to help new users get settled with a system. Many members of
the BackTrack community use BackTrack as a secondary operating system
and tool in their day-to-day work. Others are simply kids looking to
become hackers because of the romantic way the hacker has been displayed
in popular culture. This dichotomy has caused the community to be a
little pompous, but rightfully so. The leaders of the BackTrack
community have spent a lot of time to become security veterans and are
not there to give instructional seminars on how to use the most basic of
tools. In the past, BackTrack developers shut down the forums for the
very reason that they were overgrown and below the standard that they
were looking for. The community does not tolerate someone who is not
willing to take the time to read up on and discover how to properly use
the operating system themselves.
Usage :
As
a recovery or penetration environment, BackTrack is an excellent
operating system.
BackTrack overshadows any other distribution of its
type since it simply eliminates the competition with its wide tool base
and huge user community. With that being said, BackTrack seems like it
would be too much for someone to have installed as their main operating
system. Since even a veteran security researcher would only use a
fraction of these tools, it seems like quite a bit of overkill, unless
you are simply experimenting and learning, to have BackTrack as your
system's primary OS. A slimmed down version of Kubuntu or even another
system like Arch would be best for someone looking to run a fast and
responsive, day-to-day Linux environment. BackTrack should be used as a
tool, a swiss-army knife to pull out when needed.
The Kindle Fire is a mini tablet computer version of Amazon.com's Kindle e-book reader. Announced on September 28, 2011, the Kindle Fire has a color 7-inch multi-touch display with IPS technology and runs a forked version of Google's Android operating system. The device—which includes access to the Amazon Appstore, streaming movies and TV shows, and Kindle's e-books—was released to consumers in the United States
on November 15, 2011. On September 7, 2012, upgrades to the device were
announced with consumer availability to those European countries with a
localized version of Amazon's website
2. Wii U
There's
no doubt the Wii sparked a motion-control revolution when it launched,
with all three major consoles now sporting some sort of wavy-arm option.
However, despite phenomenal sales for much of its life, it isn't still
banging out the hit games in the way the Xbox and PS3 are.
Enter the Wii U,
then. The Wii's successor looks set to be a powerful HD console,
offering 1080p output and 3D support, with yet another interesting new
controller. The Wii U comes with a kind of small tablet - a controller
with all the usual buttons, but a touchscreen in the middle as well. The
touchscreen can be used to control games, or you can actually play the
game on that screen, leaving your TV free for Masterchef.
Nintendo-quality
games, awesome HD graphics, support from lots of third-party games
developers, and a handy way to play in any room in your house? Count us
in.
3. Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime
This
is where tablets really start to grow up when it comes to horsepower.
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime is the first Nvidia Tegra 3 tablet,
which means quad-core processing and amazing graphics performance for a
portable device. Somehow, it's also unbelievably thin and light, and
comes in a bundle with keyboard dock for typing on the go.
Our Eee Pad Transformer Prime review
found that it had good battery life, a great screen and amazing
performance, especially for games. It's probably going to be just the
first step in what's to come for Tegra 3 tablets in 2012, but it'll be a
hell of a way to start the year when it's released in January.
4. Windows 8 tablets
There are still a lot of unanswered questions when it comes to Windows 8 tablets,
but the information is starting to come out, and there's no doubt
Microsoft is prepared to make a real go of this tablet malarkey.
Windows
8 will use a Metro interface that's much like Windows Phone 7 for when
it's used on touch devices, with separate Metro apps. It will support
ARM processors, such as Tegra 3, as well, which means manufacturers have
options for the hardware they include.
Whether the addition of a
new touch interface on top of the traditional Windows look will entice
developers and customers is hard to say, but it seems to have the
manufacturers on board, and we'll be able to see more when the public
beta arrives early next year. If Microsoft pulls it off, it may suddenly
become a big mobile player again.
5. Apple's 2012 tablet
We
could fill this article with what Apple's supposedly got in the works
for next year, but since they're all officially fictional until the
moment Tim Cook walks on stage and reveals them to the world, let's not
get too wrapped up in them. Rumours of an iPad 3
with a Retina display are stronger than ever, and it's fair to say that
we'd be drooling all over a tablet with a screen as highly detailed as
the iPhone 4S's. iPhone 5
rumours persist too, though at this point we suspect it'll be called
something else, since it won't be the fifth iPhone. A thinner design
with a larger, possibly edge-to-edge, screen is supposedly the order of
the day, which will be unusual, but we'd love to see if Apple can pull
it off.
And then there's the Apple TV. No, not the Apple TV you can buy now, the new Apple iTV
television set that's supposed to be in the works. Of course, it's hard
to say how good an Apple TV would be from a visual point of view, but
we like the sound of a TV with AirPlay and iCloud built in, with Siri
functionality as a remote control option.
