Bad news for SpeakAsia MLM firm's Lovers - Speakasia's Fraud - Scam

..:: Bad news for SPEAKASIA MLM firm's Lovers - Speakasia's Fraud - Scam ::..

The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai police crime branch on Friday arrested four officials of a controversial web-driven multi-level marketing company (MLM) SpeakAsia (http://www.speakasiaonline.com) launched from Singapore, for duping a Mumbai-based investor of Rs. 6 lakh. The total volume of fraud is feared to be more than Rs 1.300 crore.

Speak Asia Fraud Scam, CBI arreseted ceo of speakasia, police, India, Mumbai, money, survey, bogus company, MLM

Joint commissioner of police, crime, Himanshu Roy said while the chief operating officer of the company, Speak Asia, Tarak Bajpai was detained in Indore and brought to Mumbai. its financial manager, Ravi Khanna and the web portal's designers — Rajiv Mehrotra and Raees Khan — were arrested in Mumbai.He said all four had been remanded in police custody till August - 4. They have been booked for cheating and hatching a criminal conspiracy.

Another top investor-turned-conduit in the fraud, Dipankar Sarkar was detained in Raipur. Roy said he would be arrested and brought to EOW custody soon. The CEO of the company Manoj Sharma is absconding while its chairman, Haren Kaur, a Singapore citizen of Indian origin, is holed up in that country.

Roy said the EOW had received a complaint from the Mumbai-based investor some time ago. He had been induced to invest Rs 33,000 with the promise of Rs 6 lakh returns. But, when he went to withdraw the money he found the account empty. The EOW conducted its inquiry and finally lodged an FIR on Thursday and the arrests followed.

Roy said the company, launched in April last year, has more than 12 lakh investors and 137 branches in India, 18 of those in Maharashtra. In Mumbai, the company has four offices. Whenever they were asked about the source of their income, they would say they generated the money by conducting market surveys for reputed companies. "However, these companies clarified they had never hired this company for any market research," Roy added.

Initially the company managed to hook investors by giving returns in cheques or transferring the money online to the customer's bank accounts. Their cover was blown when the company began defaulting even after taking money from investors.

Google+ A New Social Networking website like Facebook

..:: Google+ - Google's New Social Networking website like Facebook ::..



Google+, Google plus, Google+ Vs Facebook, Social networking, Advantages, new features, amazing, login, join, updates
A Small Introduction to Google's New Social Networking Project - Google+ ::-

Google has tried several times, without much success, to take on Facebook the master of social networking. Now Google, the king of internet search but a bust on the social front, launched its rival to Facebook a social networking service called Google+, — which happens to look a lot like Facebook. The service, which is initially available to a select group of Google users who will soon be able to invite others, will let people share and discuss status updates, photos and links, much as they do on Facebook.

Where Google+ is differ from Facbook or Difference between Google+ and Facebook or Google+ Vs Facebook ::-

          Google’s senior vice president for engineering Vic Gundotra said in a blog post about the long awaited social networking, "Online sharing is awkward. Even broken. And we aim to fix it."

          Google+ gives users to separate online friends and family into different "Circles," or networks, and to share information only with members of a particular circle. Bradley Horowitz, a vice-president for product management at Google says, "In real life, we have walls and windows and I can speak to you knowing who's in the room, but in the online world, you get to a 'Share' box and you share with the whole world" Gundotra added, "We want to make Google better by including you, your relationships and your interests."

          One of the criticisms of Facebook is that updates are shared with all of one’s friends unless a user has gone through a relatively complicated process to create separate Facebook Groups. While in Google+ Gundotra says,"Not all relationships are created equal, So in life we share one thing with college buddies, another with parents, and almost nothing with our boss. The problem is that today’s online services turn friendship into fast food, wrapping everyone in ‘friend’ paper, and sharing really suffers".

          Google+ project will be different in one significant way, which Google hopes will be enough to convince people to use yet another social network. It is meant for sharing with groups - like colleagues, roommates or hiking friends - not with all of one's friends or the entire Web. It also offers group text messaging and “Hangouts” which allows for video chatting among friends.

Web URL of Google+ or Where Google+ is Located ::-

          Google+, located at http://plus.google.com, is currently being tested by a small number of people or is  available by invitation only. But Google said in a message on the site that it "won’t be long before the Google+ project is ready for everyone".

What Analysts says about Google+ and Facebook ::-

          Facebook users are unlikely to duplicate their network of friends on Google+ and post to both sites, but that they could use them for different types of communication.

         Google+ could also attract Facebook holdouts who have been uncomfortable sharing too publicly.

          Some Analysts says Google+ may already be too late. In May, 180 million people visited Google sites, including YouTube, compared with 157.2 million on Facebook, according to comScore. But Facebook users looked at 103 billion pages and spent an average of 375 minutes on the site, while Google users viewed 46.3 billion pages and spent 231 minutes.

One Shocking News about Google+ ::-

Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and chief executive of Facebook is becomes most popular person on Google+. Zuckerberg had nearly 35,000 people following his updates on the service, more than anyone else in a broad survey of Google+ profiles by Social Statistics, an outside service. His fan base exceeds that of Larry Page, one of the founders of Google and its recently appointed chief executive, who had only 24,000 people following him.

Bidi more Harmful than Cigarette

..:: Bidi more Harmful than Cigarette ::..


It contains more nicotine and has more particulate matter as it doesn't have filter.

FACTS AND FIGURES :-
      1. 87,222 Number of males who took part in the study
      2. 42 % The incidence of oral cancer in bidi smokers
      3. 9 number of times a smoker puffs a cigarette
      4. 28 number of times a smoker puffs a bidi

In probably the first such large-scale study of its kind, Sekhsaria Institute of Public Health, in collaboration with the ministry of health proved that bidis and other forms of tobacco (su-pari, gutkha, among others) are more harmful than cigarettes.

The study had a follow-up period of 5.5 years with as many as 87,222 male members from Mumbai participating in it. As per the study, the incidence of oral cancer in bidi smokers was 42% higher than in cigarette smokers. For all respiratory and intrathoracic organs combined, the increase was 69%; for lung and larynx, the increases were 35% and 112%, respectively Smokeless tobacco, on the other hand, was associated with cancers of the lip, oral cavity, pharynx, digestive, respiratory, and intrathoracic organs.

While the study was completed last year, it was published last month in the prestigious medical journal - Cancer Causes and Control - on March 5.

"While the popular perception is that bidi is natural, hand-rolled and has fewer chemicals, it is as harmful as cigarette smoking if not more. While there have been studies done abroad about the effects of cigarette smoking, there has been no Indian study comparing the effects of bidi smoking, cigarette smoking and smokeless cigarettes," said Dr. P. C. Gupta, the director of Sekhsaria Institute, based in Navi Mumbai.

In India, the bidi industry that is mostly home-grown accounts for 48% of the tobacco consumption making them much more popular than cigarettes. Despite the small quantity of tobacco it contains, bidis deliver more carbon monoxide than cigarettes. Bidis, the report states, necessitates deeper, more frequent inhalation as they extinguish more easily. An average bidi smoker puffs a cigarette nine times as opposed to a person puffing bidi 28 times. This is harder on the lungs as compared to cigarette smoking. Besides this, bidi contains more particulate matter as they do not have filters. They also have more nicotine, as compared to cigarettes. Bidis also contain higher amounts of chemicals such as phenol, hydrogen cyanide, benzopyrenes, carbon monoxide, and ammonia.

Cyber Attack in Facebook-This message is not from your friend

..:: Cyber Attack in Facebook-This message is not from your friend ::..


Cyber Attack in Facebook, hacking,how come I see you in this video, Wat are you doing in this video, you look so stupid in this video, please get yourself untagged from this video


Facebook users were in for a rude shock on Monday 16th May 2011, when they fell prey to a cyber attack. Worldwide experts suspect that the spam attack was launched to affect maximum number of users possible via people’s friends list.

Users received wall posts from their friends with an attached Youtube video link. This was accompanied by comments like -
“hey XYZ (persons name) how come I see you in this video”,
“Wat are you doing in this video”,
“please get yourself untagged from this video” or
“you look so stupid in this video”.

On clicking the link, users found that they were unable to check the video. Instead, the link was posted on their friend’s walls. By Monday evening the spam had propagated to all the active and inactive users on the site.

Vinoo Thomas from Mc Afee labs said, “Cyber criminals use major events like the Hurricane Katrina, the tsunami in Japan and the Osama killing to launch cyber attacks.”

Another major spam attack that was observed on Facebook went under the tag of ‘check who is viewing your profile’ which included a javascript text in the browser. “The user is not only infected but the post would go to everyone on his address book. His account would now be under control of the cyber criminals who could misuse it in future,” said a web expert.

The current spam, experts said is using a similar method to trap users. The Facebook team is yet to fix the spam. Experts say the only way to prevent being affected further is to avoid clicking on any such unknown posts and links on the account.

Facebook Malware Hits Netizens

..:: Facebook Malware Hits Netizens ::..


Many users of social networking website are receiving malicious chat messages from people on their friends’ list





Facebook-Malware,virus,threat, harmful, india, affected,usa,habit,dependence,hobby


HOW IT WORKS ::

  • The message carried a subject ‘Father crashes and dies because of THIS message posted on his daughters profile wall!’ This was followed by a short link.
  • The malware was detected this weekend by experts from the Kaspersky Lab.
  • The victim is taken to the monetisation part. He is asked to send an SMS to a number in his own country to seek answers to questions in the quiz. The SMS costs around 3 Euros.

WORST AFFECTED COUNTRIES ::

UKRAINE - 24.22%
INDIA - 16.22%
USA - 13.03%

(* % of users)

DETAILED ARTICLE ARE BELOW :

A malware being propagated through social networking site Facebook has been spread in the cyber space around the world. With a large number of Facebook users from India, users from the nation are one of the worst affected because of this malware. Other than stealing personal information, it also has further control over the account.

The malware was detected this weekend. Experts from the Kaspersky Lab found that Facebook users started receiving malicious chat messages, and the messages were sent from people who were on their friends’ list.

The message carried a subject ‘Father crashes and dies because of THIS message posted on his daughters profile wall!’ This was followed by a short link. Experts suspected that the malware was circulated and made by some person who is not a native English speaker, as the apostrophe was missing in the word ‘daughters’ in the subject.

As the message was sent by friends, users easily fell prey to the trick and clicked on the message. The link took the user to a chain of redirections, with a malicious Facebook application showing up on the screen and requesting several permissions.

Kaspersky Lab expert Stefan Tanase said: “The application has a random name. It accesses users’ basic information like friends’ list and Facebook chat. It then sends the same message to online friends on the user’s list.” He added: “Further, the user is redirected to another page. Here, he is asked to take an anti-spam verification test. He is also asked to take a quiz in which he is asked questions like ‘How stupid are you?’, ‘What’s your true love?’ or ‘Spyphone’.”

The monetisation part follows once the quiz is over. The user is asked to send an SMS to a number in his own country to seek answers to questions in the quiz. This SMS costs around 3 Euros. But users fell prey to the trick, as the number looked like it is from the same country.

An IT expert said: “Though the money lost is not much,the users end up losing their vital private information which is used to propagate the malware. It can further be used in future by cyber criminals for several other scams that they float in the cyber space.”

The country worst affected by this malware, according to the Kaspersky Lab report, is Ukraine where around 24.22% of the total affected user base has been targeted till date. It is followed by India where 16.22% of users have been victims. The third on the list is the United States of America where 13.03% users were affected.

Know Real Story Behind Success of Google

..:: Know Real Story Behind Success of Google ::..


Google was originally called BackRub ::-

Real Story Behind Success of Google,google logo,google history,Larry Page,Sergey Brin,Milan Satra,Swastik Infovision

Like many other booming internet companies, Google has an interesting upbringing, one that is marked by a lowly beginning. Google began as a research project in January 1996 by co founder Larry Page, a 24-year-old Ph.D. student at Standford University. Page was soon joined by 23-year-old Sergey Brin, another Ph.D. student, forming a duo that seemed destined for failure. According to Google's own corporate information, Brin and Page argued about every single topic they discussed. This incessant arguing, however, may have been what spurred the duo to rethink web-searching and develop a novel strategy that ranked websites according to the number of backlinks (i.e., according to the number of web pages that linked back to a web page being searched), and not based on the number of times a specific search term appeared on a given web page, as was the norm.

alt=
Larry Page

Real Story Behind Success of Google,google logo,google history,Larry Page,Sergey Brin,Milan Satra,Swastik Infovision
Sergey Brin

Because of this unique strategy, another thing you didn't know about Google is that Page and Brin nicknamed the search engine BackRub. Thankfully, in 1998, Brin and Page dropped the sexually suggestive nickname, and came up with “Google,” a term originating from a common misspelling of the word "googol," which refers to 10100.

The word “google” has become so common, it was entered into numerous dictionaries in 2006, referring to the act of using the Google search engine to retrieve information via the internet.


Google scans your e-mails ::-

Real Story Behind Success of Google,google logo,google history,live email scanner,antivirus,gmail,Larry Page,Sergey Brin,Milan Satra,Swastik Infovision

Nothing in life is perfect or without controversy and Google is no exception. Google scans your e-mails (at Gmail) through a process called “content extraction.” All incoming and outgoing e-mail is scanned for specific keywords to target advertising to the user. The process has brewed quite a storm of controversy, but Google has yet to back down on its stance.

Google has remained similarly headstrong about other criticisms; in an attempt to remain partisan to local governments, Google removes or does not include information from its services in compliance with local laws. Perhaps the most striking example of this is Google's adherence to the internet censorship policies of China (at Google.cn) so as not to bring up search results supporting the independence movement of Tibet and Taiwan, or any other information perceived to be harmful to the People's Republic of China.

Google Street has further been cited for breaching personal privacy. The service provides high-resolution street-view photos from around the world and has, on numerous occasions, caught people committing questionable acts. Moving from street to satellite, Google Earth has also come under fire from several Indian state governments about the security risks posed by the details from Google Earth's satellite imaging. When all is said and done, there are a lot of criticisms about Google and these few examples merely scratch the surface.


Google spends $72 million a year on employee meals ::-

Real Story Behind Success of Google,google logo,google history,meal provided at google office,gmail,Larry Page,Sergey Brin,Milan Satra,Swastik Infovision

Seventy-two million dollars a year - that works out to about $7,530 per Googler (a term Google uses to identify employees). While the exact details vary depending on location (the Google empire spans the globe), employees at Google's California headquarters, aptly entitled the Googleplex, are welcome to at least two free meals a day from 11 different gourmet cafeterias. As if that weren’t enough, another thing you didn’t know about Google is that in addition to the cafeterias, Google offers numerous snack bars that are chock-full of healthy morsels to munch on.

And that's certainly not all. Is your car in a bit of a rut? Not to worry; Google offers on-site car washes and oil changes. The list of perks for working at Google is never-ending, making it no surprise that it's considered the No. 1 place to work, offering: on-site haircuts, full athletic facilities, massage therapists, language classes, drop-off dry cleaning, day cares, and on-site doctors, just to name a few. Oh, and if your dog is stuck at home and feeling a little lonely, just bring him to work -- Google doesn't mind.


Google loses $110 million a year through "I'm Feeling Lucky" ::-

Real Story Behind Success of Google,google logo,google history,I am feeling lucky,gmail,Larry Page,Sergey Brin,Milan Satra,Swastik Infovision

There's not much to see on Google's main search page, and perhaps simplicity is one of the keys to Google's success. When searching Google, you are given two options: “Google Search” or “I'm Feeling Lucky.” By clicking the former, you are given that familiar list of search results; by clicking the latter, however, you are automatically redirected to the first search result, bypassing the search engine’s results page.

besides the fun factor, the idea behind the “I'm Feeling Lucky” feature is to provide the user with instant connection to the precise page they are searching for, thus saving them time that would normally be spent perusing endless search results. Sounds harmless enough, right? Not so fast. Because “I'm Feeling Lucky” bypasses all advertising, it is estimated that Google loses about $110 million per year in advertising-generated revenue. So why in the world would any Fortune 500 company not patch such a gaping leak? "It's possible to become too dry, too corporate, too much about making money. I think what's delightful about 'I'm Feeling Lucky' is that it reminds you there are real people here," Google Executive Marissa Mayer told Valleywag, an online tech-blog.


Google has a sense of humor ::-


Real Story Behind Success of Google,google logo,google history,google's sense of humor,gmail,Larry Page,Sergey Brin,Milan Satra,Swastik Infovision

Google also offers full language support for Pig Latin, Klingon and even Elmer Fudd. Anyone else still feeling lucky? Try typing, “French military victories” and clicking “I'm Feeling Lucky.” Behold the result.

Some might remember the “miserable failure” fiasco when one typed those words and clicked “I'm Feeling Lucky,” and they were instantly connected to a biography of President George W. Bush on the White House website. Now, before you jump to conclusions, this trick - which no longer works - was carried out by members of the online community through the art of “Google bombing.” Google bombing works because of Google's backlink search strategy.

Where Diamonds Come From

..:: Where Diamonds Come From ::..


Diamonds,Indian Diamonds,Pure Diamonds,Diamond Market in India - Mumbai


It is hard to believe that that beautiful, brilliant stone in your ring was once sitting in the earth, isn't it? But it was and there's quite a few diamonds still there in fact about 120 million carats of diamonds are mined each year. There are currently two methods of mining diamonds: Alluvial Mining and Pipe Mining.


Alluvial Mining
(Alluvial Mining)

The Alluvial Mining method is done on beaches and in riverbeds. When using this method, the water and sand on the bank are held back with man made walls, or a bulldozer is used to move the beach until the level of earth containing diamonds is reached. The diamonds are not sorted right there, instead the sand that has the diamonds in it is loaded into trucks and taken to screening plants.


Pipe Mining,Pipe Mining in India
(Pipe Mining)

With Pipe Mining, the diamonds are extracted from the earth through volcanic pipes. These pipes are natural - not man made. Shanks are put in the ground next to these pipes, and then tunnels are driven into the deepest parts of the pipe. Using this method, gigantic rocks that are full of diamonds are taken out of the mine and then moved to screening plants for sorting.

There are many diamond mines in operation around the world. Some of the major ones include:
