BenefIT - A new technology magazine from EFY group

Today, I received a sample copy of BenefIT - Businesses must benefit from IT

It is a first issue of the magazine from the same group which publishes the popular Electronics for You and Linux for You, the only Linux exclusive magazine India.

The content of the magazine focuses on how non-IT sectors are benefiting from IT. It carries reviews of latest hardware / software products available in India. Then there were general internet related tips and useful websites.

The review of Microsoft Office contained more Office screenshots and less content though the title of the article was "Get the maximum out of Microsoft Office".

There is a "Price Wars" section which carries news regarding tariffs of mobile operators in India. Useful for anyone thinking of buying a new connection or switching an operator.

The magazine also features news about Yahoo domain products - Have your own domain name. I was wondering why this news was in the magazine when these Yahoo products are not even available in India. Check out http://in.yahoo.com and you won't find Yahoo for Small Business offered there.

Overall, the magazine is fine for non-tech people and is worth the introductory price of Rs 10.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall. Facebook offers the Takeout option allowing you to download all Facebook data locally to the disk (include

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
