I will take no response ability for breaking any terms of use or any other licensing!
First you need a US Proxy address, this you can buy a subscription for or pick a free web proxy from this list:
http://www.hidemyass.com/proxy-list/search-62
Of cause you can use any proxy you want, it just have to change the IP-address to a US address.
After you have found a proxy server/port you should install a proxy manager. This could be a Chrome Extension like Proxy Switchy!
Other browsers like Firefox does have similar Plug-ins.
Proxy Switchy! can be set up to automatic switch to a specific proxy server on specific URL’s like this:
This should be saved along with the proxy profile where the IP-address and port should be.
Now just navigate to www.pandora.com and you should be good to go /.

Open the regestry editor (regedit.exe)
Set the registry value to this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Desktop]
ForegroundLockTimeout = 0
and reboot the system.
This also works in XP and Vista.

Some times I want to command line my windows form applications and get the output from it direct to the command line. This is nice to have when I want to batch or run the program with-in another program.
I use it if I have some methods I want to use in both a Windows Form and command line application and I don’t want to write separate applications or wrappers.
I don’t want to make a Console application and start a Windows Form, because the console windows will always be visible. I want a Windows Form application to also work as a Console application with arguments and output.
To do this I had to use the kernel32.dll as shown below:
[DllImport(“kernel32.dll”, SetLastError = true)]
private static extern bool AttachConsole(int processId);
[ DllImport(“kernel32.dll”, SetLastError = true)]
private static extern bool ReleaseConsole();
DllImport namespace is System.Runtime.InteropServices
AttachConsole(int processID) takes the console process ID to which it will output to, -1 is current.
ReleaseConsole() releases the attached console.
Example:
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{ try { if (args.Length == 0) { Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); Application.Run(new WindowsTestForm(args)); } else { AttachConsole(-1); WindowsTestForm testForm= new WindowsTestForm (args); } } catch (Exception) { } finally { ReleaseConsole(); } } #region Use Console in Windows Forms [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)] private static extern bool AttachConsole(int dwProcessId); [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)] private static extern bool ReleaseConsole(); #endregion

This is a nice install on my Nokia 5800 XM, but the keyboard lack the ability to copy/paste with the native clipboard in the S60. Some Java scripts does not format well like the iPhone google reader site, but this is not different from the official 4.2 version. Other than that, the browser looks a lot better and still runs smooth. The password save feature is a really nice add-on and feels a lot like a desktop experience. Also the tab browsing makes the flow easier to swallow. Bottom line: it’s a good step toward a better experience.

Here is the link to the source Take Screencaptures
This article point out how to initiate a screencapture (screen shot) on the Palm Pre mobile phone. This is a very nice feature to have buildin the OS on a mobile phone. I don’t recall any other mobile OS to do this out of the box.
