Assange has now sent shock waves across India

New Delhi: Indian multi-millionaires are spending sleepless nights as reports said that Wikileaks would be exposing 2000 wealthy people having their unaccounted black money in Swiss Banks. The reports said some 40 Indians are on the list of Julian Assange.

BJP which has been demanding the government to talk to the Swiss government and have the list of Indians with black money in the Swiss banks has reiterated its demand of seizing the black money of Indians and spending it for public use.

Latest reports said that Wikileaks got the details of 2000 from a senior Swiss Bank retired executives. The reports said these 2000 persons could have evaded tax and were also possibly involved in criminal activity.

According to The New York TimesThe New York Times, Rudolf M. Elmer who ran the Caribbean operations of Swiss bank Julius Baer for eight years until he was dismissed in 2002, told the media at a news conference that about 40 companies and ‘Pillars of society’ were among the millionaires being exposed. He however refused to identify any of the individuals or companies. He told the Observer newspaper that those named in the documents come from the US, Britain, Germany, Austria and Asia and from all over. Reports said that Mr. Elmer handed two computer disks to Mr. Assange at the news confirence.

Assange however said it would take some more time for him to process the information and make it public.

How to Export Email Addresses of all your Facebook Friends

Search the Facebook Apps directory for something like “export contacts” and you’ll come across quite a few applications that sound as if they can transfer your friends contact information out of Facebook.

There’s an app called “Export Friends” that will save you friends names, city, birthday and their current location in a CSV (text) file that you then import into Excel, Gmail or any other web email program.

Then there are social plug-ins that can sync photos and status updates of your Facebook friends with matching contacts in Outlook.

The problem is that none of these apps can download what you are looking – the phone numbers and email addresses of your Facebook friends. There are Greasemonkey scripts and other hacks that can pull this information from Facebook through “web scraping” but don’t ever take that route as Zuckerberg’s army might ban your account forever.
Export Email Addresses of your Facebook Contacts

Facebook APIs don’t expose email addresses of users and hence none of the Facebook apps can provide you with the actual contact data of your friends. There’s however a simple (and perfectly legal) workaround that can help you easily download all your friends email addresses from Facebook’s walled garden.

Lara, Ganguly, Gayle go unsold at IPL-4 auction

Brian Lara, Sourav Ganguly, Chris Gayle, Jesse Ryder and Herschelle Gibbs were the four players to go unsold in Indian Premier League-4 auction in Bangalore on Saturday. Both Ganguly and Gayle, former West Indies skipper and a big hitter, were part of Knight Riders in the first three editions and had the base price $400,000, reserved for marquee players.

Ganguly failed to attract any buyer at the auction being held at the ITC Royal Gardenia. Ganguly was earlier placed in the $200,000 price bracket, but he later increased his base price to $400,000, which is the highest bracket for marquee players in the league.

Ganguly, who was the oldest Indian player up for auction at 38 years and six months, had a tough time with Knight Riders and was also removed from captaincy in the second edition in South Africa. Ganguly, however, came back to lead the side after Dave Whatmore took over the coaching from John Buchanan last year.

But Knight Riders were not interested in Ganguly and released him for the fourth edition.

During Ganguly's auction, the spotlight was on the Knight Riders' table, but the team's think tank looked down as his name was repeatedly called before he went to the unsold basket.

There were also reports that Sahara-owned Pune Warriors may buy him at a base price, but they may have changed their mind after Ganguly hiked the price.
