Andy Grove Speaks out on Offshore Outsourcing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the learn-to-speak-indian dept.

molarmass192 writes "Andy Grove, of Intel fame, "spoke out" at a recent technology summit in Washington about the current trend towards offshore outsourcing and how it's causing the US to slowly but surely lose its edge in the tech sector. He states plainly that the US government must step in to restore balance between the need for profits and the lure of offshore outsourcing. There are also pokes at the patent system and slow adoption of broadband internet access. An interesting insight into what's going on inside the heads of the US's tech leaders."

    How dare countries outside America try to compete! It's so... un-American!

    He is a native of Hungary. Outsorcing helps Hungarian people, Andy Grove should be happy about it!

    He should remember that once you are a Hungarian you are ALWAYS a Hungarian!
