Outsourcing to India OK ... I'm getting sick and tired of this topic in the business news, in the general news -- just about everywhere I look, I see the cries of lost jobs thanks to cheap Indian labour. If you're unlike me, and you haven't got your fill of moaning and whining yet, here are a few news articles to top yourself up with.
  • BusinessWeek's cover article from their December 8/03 issue covers the topic very well.
  • BusinessWeek's cover article from their March 1/04 issue is yet another look, yet a slightly different angle -- and yes, it sells magazines!
  • Wired Magazine even got into the fray with their Feb. 2004 issue.

It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
