Using Android phone without Google account

If you have ever wondered how usable Android phone is without having Google account, most probably you have already discovered the ugly truth – Android phone is a trap. There is no visible chance to have a smartphone (with apps and so on) without having Gmail account. Majority of Alternative Markets, like GetJar, are available only from Google Play.
Sadly, most developers publish their Android apps only in Play store. You can’t download or buy their apps from developers websites.

htaccess allow IP addresses

If your website is under construction, you can simply edit .htaccess file to disallow visits to your website.
Here is the code :
<Limit GET POST PUT>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 12.345.67.890
</Limit>

allow from 12.345.67.890 command allows access to your server only from 12.345.67.890 IP address.

You can allow more IP’s to access your website :
<Limit GET POST PUT>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 12.345.67.890
allow from 890.67.345.12
</Limit>

This practice is good in case you are modifying your website (performing a new joomla installation) and don’t want others to see the process.
