Tor Project: Free Proxies And Tools For Privacy Protection

Posted: 21 Oct 2012 06:00 PM PDT


Tor is a free privacy protection tool or anonymity network, which you can use in order to protect privacy or hide your identity online. You can even avoid filters and browse websites to which access would normally be blocked for you, for example YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. And other similar services or websites which are being blocked in some parts of the world completely, while in others they are being heavily censored. This privacy protection tool can help you out in all of these situations with the help of not only the network of proxy servers that it offers, but also several privacy protection tools that you get to utilize those proxies.

Tor privacy protection default window

Check out some similar privacy protection tools reviewed by us like: Tunlr, Freegste, and Stealthy.

What you see in the image above is the list of services offered by the Tor anonymity network. Even though a lot of people consider the Tor Browser to be the flagship product of the Tor project, there’s a lot more offered, you can even get an entire GNU/Linux operating system called Tails which comes pre-configured and packed with various security settings and tools for keeping your online identity and activities a secret.

Key Features of the Tor Project for Privacy Protection:

  • Hides your location and keeps your online activities a secret.
  • Can be used with browser, instant messaging clients, remote logins and more.
  • Available for Linux/Unix, Windows, Mac and Android.
  • Tor Browser, Tails OS, Orbot are tools for secure browsing and anonymity.

Keeping privacy today isn’t an easy task, Tor offers a lot of tools which can be used across all the major operating systems and even smartphones powered with the Android OS. Most useful tool would be the Tor Browser, which we’re gonna be talking about in the next few lines.

What’s offered and How to use Tor Browser for Secure Online Browsing:

First thing which you should do is to download the Tor Browser bundle, available for Windows, Linux, and Mac. It’s a self extracting archive and the bundle itself is a standalone application which you can start by clicking on the Start Tor Browser executable without installation.

Tor Vidalia window

Vidalia Control Panel can be seen on the image above, it works in the system tray and there you can check on the status of your connection with Tor and also you can assume new identity. Vidalia is only the control panel, browser is where you’ll be surfing safely with of course your identity hidden.

Tor TorBrowser screenshot

Tor Browser is actually a reworked version of Mozilla Firefox which works as a standalone application. And comes packed with extensions for maintaining privacy like for example HTTPS Everywhere, various script blockers and last but not least, it uses secure search engine Startpage, which offers a proxy Google search so that Google doesn’t track what you’re searching for online.

Tor secure browsing

Start browsing safely and securely from within the TorBrowser. Open social networks, or any other website that was blocked. If you want new identity just open up Vidalia and click on the Use New Identity button and you will get a new IP address.

Play Football Tactics Game: The Football Playbook

Posted: 21 Oct 2012 03:00 PM PDT


The Football Playbook is a football tactics game that is available for free download on your PC. Plan the game and guide the ball from goalkeeper to striker.

Football (Soccer) is a famous sport game (I'm a fan of football game myself). In this PC Game you will be provided a snapshot of the game and you have to solve the tactical puzzle to make a goal. This game is available for Windows PC and the download size is just 10 MB.

football tactics game

About This Football Tactics Game:

This football tactics game looks like a comic style game; but it isn't as easy as it sounds. You have to plan the whole play like a football team manager. In this game you have to defend your team, kick the ball, divert the opposite team players, and make a goal.

This football tactics game has 42 levels to compete with the computer. There is a tutorial and demo game for practice. From chapter one you have to start playing from first level and complete it to unlock the next level. Whenever you win a lower level, the next level will be unlocked and so on. There are six levels in each chapter.

The whole game operates with mouse clicks only. Anybody would get confused on what to do if you are new to this game. There is no good description of gameplay in "How to play" section also. I spent a few minutes and tried playing a few levels and then finally became an expert. Below I have mentioned a few tips on how to play this game.

football tactics levels

How To Play:

All the white circles are your team players and black colored circles are opposite team players. The opposite team players are controlled by computer. So, your task is to avoid the computer players and make a goal. If any of the computer player intercepts you from reaching the ball, then you have to start all over again.

When you start a level, a photosnap of the players position will be shown in white background. Then you have to click the cross mark on the top right to start the game, then the whole back ground and the icons will transform into different colors as shown in below screenshot.

football tactics change

Unfortunately you can't make your players move; they just stand still and only computer players move. Although there are some players who move.

The players who has a dotted arrow path along them move themselves when they get the ball.

football tactics automatic play

There are some players who need to be activated by a mouse click. Click on the cement colored circle to move them to that point. These players can be used to divert others or to handle the ball.

football tactics gameplay

Here is a small video of the gameplay of The Football Playbook:

Only the center part is the football field and players in it. The rest of the screen shows the football fans expression or encouragement by the crowd when you hit a goal or your manager expressions etc. The sound effects are also related on how you play the game.

Windows 8 Weather App

Posted: 21 Oct 2012 01:00 PM PDT


Weather is a free Windows 8 weather app pre-installed on your Windows 8 system placed in the start menu screen. This weather app for Windows 8 lets you track weather reports of all the countries around the world including your current location.

The weather Windows 8 app keeps you informed about the current temperature of a specific city, weather throughout the year, hourly forecast of the day, along with a 'Refresh' button.

Windows 8 weather app

It's a very useful weather app where you can easily get all the weather details, right on your system, without switching on News on that so-called idiot box or the browser.

You can change the temperature unit from Celsius to Fahrenheit or vice-versa. Also, there is an option to pin to start a particular location's weather reports, or add to 'Favorite Places' category. The weather app for Windows 8 lets you 'Set as Default' a specific location's weather reports.

What I Liked About This Windows 8 Weather App:

What I really liked about Weather app is its beautiful column-based interface. As you open the app, you will find a screen where you can see a city's current weather reports including Wind, Visibility, Humidity, Barometer, etc. To view more details, you need to scroll towards the right, using the horizontal bar or the mouse wheel. As you start scrolling, you will find 'Hourly Forecast' that lets you check each hour's weather forecast of the entire day. Next come is the 'Maps' section that brings you short videos playing the National Temperature, National Precipitation, National Cloud Cover, and  National Satellite. Make sure that the Map takes the country according the city you have selected.

Windows 8 weather app

The next column is the 'Historical Weather' that shows the weather throughout the year, in a Bar graph form that makes it easier for the users to understand the fluctuations that happen in the sky throughout the year.

Now, the interesting part here are the parts in which weather has been divided. Yep.. if you see just below the graph, you will find three different icons for Temperature, Rainfall, and Sunshine. You can click on these to get the yearly details. At the right side of the graph, you will find current month's weather report including Average High, Average Low, Record High, Record Low, Rainfall, Sunshine, etc.

Weather

Another thing which I really liked about this Windows 8 weather app is the live tile feature. The live tile keeps on updating the weather summary of a specific location, provided that you have pinned that location to the start screen..

You are done.. if you see the 'Favorite Places' section you will find the city added there along with showing the current temperature.

As you click, it will bring you a beautiful world map highlighting the current temperature of various cities. If you want to know a the temperature of a specific continent, just click on the continent and you will see the temperature of all the counties included in that continent. Similarly, you can look for other places, as well.

How To Remove A Location From Favorites Column:

In order to remove a place from the favorites, just head over to the 'Favorites' column → select the place you want to remove by clicking right over it → click on 'Remove' option given inside the horizontal bar appeared at the bottom. Its done.

What I did not like in Windows 8 Weather App:

The only thing that disappointed me here in this weather app is the lack of sharing option.. yep, you can not share the weather details with others. Rest everything I found was very interesting. It’s very handy, very easy to access, shows you future temperature, hourly temperature, yearly temperature, just everything.

Current Radar:

This functionality is available for US only. On the Radar you will be able to view current temperature of cities and major wind motions. I repeat, it works only for United states.

* If you look at the screenshot placed above, You'll find a rectangle enclosing USA. Only that area is covered under radar.

The Final Verdict:

WeatherSpark is a good online weather forecasting website with some really advance features.  It must be noted that WeatherSpark is in beta stage and few more tools to know global warming status and monsoon status are likely to be included soon. The overall impression of website was good and I have no issues in recommending it.
