Configure hosts File in Android

-
Alright, today I would like to work a sample web site and browse it not only from my Android Emulator but also from my Android G1 device. Since I did not make the web site public yet, I need to play with "hosts" file in order to direct specific url to my specific intranet IP on Android browser.

Once I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, I got this error message when I try to restore my old applications into the new OS. It looks like this is security switch (?!) before restoring your iOS 6 into your iOS 7. If you turn off the Find My iPhone setting in Settings > iCloud, you can restore your iPhone but the applications did not migrate correctly on my case. First put your phone into recovery mode (turn off your iPhone, then press and hold "home" button while you plug-in your iPhone connector to your computer. Keep holding "home" button, and after couple of seconds, you will see restore from iTunes logo on your iPhone.) and then restore your new version of iOS. Update: When I "erase all the content" from the settings and restore my phone from the iCloud I was able to get my applications back!
