Google has included support for the Do Not Track privacy setting in its latest Chrome developer build, which was released SEPTEMBER 13, 2012.



Do Not Track — which aims to help users opt out of being tracked across Web sites for the purposes of targeted advertising — is contentious and still somewhat theoretical. But since Chrome is close to becoming the world’s most-used browser, if it’s not already, its support for DNT is pretty important.
Of all the major browser providers, Google had moved the slowest on Do Not Track, but had earlier this year agreed at the request of the Obama Administration that it would implement DNT.
Google spokesman Rob Shilkin said in an emailed statement, “We undertook to honor an agreement on DNT that the industry reached with the White House early this year. To that end we’re making this setting visible in our Chromium developer channel, so that it will be available in upcoming versions of Chrome by year’s end.”
When Do Not Track is turned on within a browser, a snippet that specifies “DNT:1” is added to the request header whenever a user wants to go to a new Web site. Once Chrome adds this to its full release, that will happen across all major browsers.
But critics say it’s not necessarily clear what sites and advertisers have to do in response to DNT being turned on.
That could be a significant problem, because users will think they’re not being tracked since they explicitly changed a setting (seems like a reasonable assumption!) — but they may just be making a request that can be ignored. Talk about defeating the purpose.
All the Web and advertising players are still sorting out how to deal with this; some, like Google, more reluctantly than others.
For instance, since Microsoft decided to turn on DNT by default in Internet Explorer 10, developers of the Apache Web server are now saying they will ignore Do Not Track requests from IE visitors because it goes against the spirit of DNT being a choice. Also, even though Facebook is doing its own ad exchange, it hasn’t agreed to participate in Do Not Track at all.

Whenever your computer is logged into any Google service any of the searches you perform using services such as the Google Search, Images, Maps, and YouTube is logged into the Web History. This is a great feature for those who need to find something they may have searched for in the past or just want a general idea of their searching habits. However, for others this may be thought of as a privacy concern. To view, edit, and disable this feature follow the below steps.
Log into the Google History page at: http://www.google.com/history. Once prompted, enter your Google's username and password. Once successfully logged in you'll see a screen similar to the below example.
 Google Search History
Viewing the history
As can be seen above, you'll immediately see all recent web search history and results. To find a page you've visited in the past use the search bar or select the date in the Web Activity calendar. In the left bar (not pictured above) you can also filter these results by video, maps, images, etc.
Editing the history
To delete a search query or a web page you've visited, select the associated check box, and then select the Remove button. To delete all your Web History click the Remove all Web History button.
Disabling the history
Finally, if you wish to disable this feature click the Pause button. This pauses the Web History feature from logging any of your searches and being displayed on this page.
Tip: If you're not logged into any Google service, your web history is not logged.
Tip: Keep in mind that Google still logs every search query and associates each query with your IP address even with this feature paused. Disabling this feature though will prevent anyone who has access to your computer and your Google login information from viewing your search history. Additional details about Google's Privacy policy can be found on their Privacy FAQ.

Note: Following the steps in this document will clear your Internet browser browsing history each time you exit the browser. Although this may help protect your privacy it will also slow down your overall Internet experience.

Need to increase your Internet connection speed/ There are a number of tweaks out there that will enable you to maximize your system’s performance and likewise, there are lots of things you can do to tweak your Internet connection to boost Internet speed. There are tons of them out there, but this article just lays out two of the most useful ones.
Tweak 1: Un-reserving bandwidth
By Default, XP reserves 20% of your bandwidth for it’s own use. This is a crying shame and should be undone immediately. To do this, you will not require any additional software, just follow the steps below.
  1. Access the Group Policy Editor. This can be done by typing gpedit.msc in the Run box (Start, and then Run). You will now be looking at something like this.

    image
  2. Navigate to Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Network/QOS Packet Scheduler using the pane on the left side.
  3. In the left pane, there should be a Setting with the name Limit reservable bandwidth, right-click this and select properties.
  4. Now this might seem a bit weird, as the State will say “Not Configured” but Windows by default will reserve 20%. So the trick is to set it to reserve 0%. You can do this by clicking enabled and then setting the Bandwidth Limit % to 0. It should look like the image below.

    image
  5. Hit OK then close the Group Policy Editor.
That’s it! You’re done with the first tweak. Just a quick side note here, there are lots of other little things you can change easily using the policy editor. Feel free to wander around!
Tweak 2: Optimizing TCP/IP settings
This next tweak is going to require a piece of freeware called SG TCP Optimizer. This nifty little utility will optimize the manner in which your PC sends and receives data packets, which will as a result speed up your connection. Though It is most effective for broadband connections, it works for just about any type of connection.
  1.  Download SG TCP Optimizer. You don’t need to install it, just double-click and it will run. Once you run it, you should be looking at this :
    image
  2. That is quite an intimidating interface, but we won’t be touching most of it. Under the General Settings tab, just drag the slider to match your connection’s download speed. Then, at the bottom of the same window, select the “Optimal Settings” radio button and click “Apply Changes”.
  3. You will now be looking at a window like the one below.

    image
  4. Make sure that the “Backup” tick box is ticked and then click OK.
  5. All that’s left is to reboot your system, in order to apply the changes. You will be prompted to do so.
  6. Once your system has rebooted, surf around for a while. If for whatever reason you feel your connection has been affected negatively, then fear not, for the changes you made can be undone. Start SG TCP Optimizer, click File and choose restore backed up settings. This will bring up a dialog box where you can navigate to where you downloaded the program. There, you will find a file with the extension .spg with a filename containing the date.
    For example If you applied the changes on the 21st of February “sg_backup_2008-02-21-xxxx.spg” would be the filename, where the xxxx is any number. Once you find this file select it and press open. This should bring to a dialog box similar to the one shown above. Click OK and reboot. Your original settings are now restored.
There you have it. Your connection is now tweaked and ready to go! Any questions, post a comment!
It’s been quite a while that Samsung Galaxy ACE S5830 users didn’t get an all new upgrade version of Gingerbread 2.3.6. So, in the due course of this article we will be checking out on how you can install the latest firmware version of XWKTM which is officially released for the Spain users by Samsung Electronics. Since this one is a boot loader free update, one can easily update the device with the help of this update manually. Unfortunately, Samsung won’t be coming out with an Official ICS Android 4.0 firmware update for Galaxy ACE.
Disclaimer: We should not be held liable for any damage caused in the process of updating Samsung Galaxy ACE S5830. It is very unlikely that your device will be damaged if you follow all the instructions to the point which are mentioned in procedure.
Note down your current firmware version from “Settings > About Phone” so that you can revert to that particular version at any point of time. Also, the best part is that applying this update won’t root the device in any manner. Just in case if your device is already rooted, then the root access will be revoked and you can reclaim the lost warranty.
Backup all your data like SMS Contacts, Call Log, Images, Music and other core data manually with the help of below mentioned instructions. Don’t use KIES to back up the data. Also, it’s recommended that all the target backup files should be copied to your desktop so that if your phone gets completely formatted, then too you can restore the data easily.
SMS – Use “SMS Backup & Restore app”,
Contacts – Sync with the Gmail application,
Call Log -Call Log and Restore
Images, Songs, Videos, Files – Copy to internal / External SD Card,
APN and MMS Settings – Note down from the path “Applications > Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
KIES Mode in your device should be enabled from the path “Settings > Wireless & Network > USB Settings > Samsung KIES”. Apart from this, you also need to enable the USB Debugging Mode in your phone from the path “Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging”
Uninstall or Disable all the security suites installed in your computer & Phone as these tools interrupt the firmware update process.
So assuming that you have followed all the instructions mentioned above, it’s now time for you to proceed to the next step where we have summed up a detailed tutorial on how to apply this update.

Procedure to Update Galaxy ACE S5830 with XWKTM Gingerbread 2.3.6 Firmware:
XWKTM Files
  • Download Odin and XWKTM Firmware Package from here to your computer. Extract both the zip files in your PC and then open the Odin in your computer. Match the extracted files with the below mentioned image.

  • The download mode in Galaxy ACE S5830 can be entered by pressing down on Volume Down Key + OK button, and holding both simultaneously press the Power Button. If device boots up in normal mode, then you need to again try entering the device in the download mode.
  • Once the device is booted in the download mode, connect your phone to the computer with the help of original USB cable. Assuming that Odin is opened, you will see that the ID : COM section in your Odin turns Yellow which will indicate that all the drivers have been installed successfully.
  • Now, all you need to do is to just click on “OPS” tab to select “Cooper_v1.0.ops”, tick mark on “One package” option. Up next, you will have to select the file “S5830XWKTM_S5830OXXKT3_S5830XWKT7_HOME.tar.md5” by clicking on “One Package” tab.
  • Now, click on “Start” tab to start the process of firmware update and once the firmware update is done, the device will be rebooting. It will take around 4 – 5 minutes for the device to apply this update. Once you see that the Language settings are being asked, you can disconnect the phone and turn Off so that it can be then entered in the recovery mode.
  • Recovery mode in Galaxy ACE is entered by pressing Menu Button, and holding this you need to press the Power Button. Once you enter into the recovery mode, choose the options Wipe data/factory reset and also you need to select Wipe Cache partition and then reboot your device by selecting reboot system now for rebooting the device.
Note: If the Odin gives error at param.fs or say at any point then you will have to reboot your computer and try applying the process from the start. Ensure that you have installed all the latest possible drivers of your phone. Also, KIES should be the latest version.
So there you go, you have now successfully applied the update of Gingerbread 2.3.6 Firmware dubbed as XWKTM in your device. Do let us know in the comments section if you face any issues as we will try our level best to fix the same.
You have heard about Google’s new single privacy policy for all its services. From March 1, 2012, most Google services and products will come under a single privacy policy. You no longer will be a Gmail, Google+, YouTube, or Google Docs user, but a Google account holder. Many users consider this new change will give them a better and personalized Google experience, and few preferring their accounts not to be linked. What will be that, would you like to delete all your Google search history and web history before March 1? If so, here is how it is.
Go to https://www.google.com/history and sign in with your Google account. You can see all your web history listed there.

To remove all your web history, enable the check box (see screenshot above) and click ‘Remove all web history’. If you want to keep some of your web history undeleted, you can do that by unselecting the desired history. Then click OK to remove all history from your account.
