OneSky Jets - Charter Flights at Affordable Prices [sort of..]

OneSky Jets does not own or operate aircraft. They just help you hire private jets at prices which are way below the standard industry price. And you can easily escape the hassles of airport security checks, long queues, luggage restrictions, etc.

The flights are relatively cheap for one simple reason - they were heading home empty after dropping the jet owners at their destinations. Aircraft owners are therefore happy to fill these "empty leg" flights even at greatly reduced prices to atleast recover the cost of flying if not make profit.

And you will be very surprised to learn that in some rare cases, these private flights can cost less than flying on commercial airlines. That's because the cost covers all the seats of the private jet so if you are flying with the whole family, the cost per passenger seat may turn out be much less.

The process of booking a charter flight is more or less the same as Expedia or Orbitz - the only difference being that each flight costs in excess of few thousand dollars and it's not guaranteed that you will find a private jet on your route.

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
