Slashdot Mirror
Builder.com Writers Outsourced to India
An anonymous reader writes "Builder.com, which is part of CNet.com, is now outsourcing some of their writing to India. The funny thing is, the editor claims it's not as much about money as because he's 'getting a better interface with producers of the content.' He claims CNet isn't giving up control, but if they're the publisher, and he's the editor, and they can't hire and manage their own writers, why shouldn't the Indians just put up their own website to replace CNet, and we can all read what they write direct? I mean, we're all going to be buying software direct from Indian companies soon, so why not?" Newsforge and Slashdot are both part of OSDN. OSDN also runs sites like devchannel.org which are more-or-less direct competitors of builder.com.
Soon you can buy the new Indian operating systems Indows XP for the desktop and Inux for the server market!
You say things that offend me and I can deal with it. Can you?

Never criticize religion on Slashdot. You will be modded down for "Troll" no matter how factual it is.
yeah, pretty soon we'll drive to mcdonald's and they'll put us on a flight to india so we can pick up our outsourced burgers.
did you let you boss know that indian managers were cheaper?
... I'm guessing some will be moving there soon. I'd rather have 1/3 or 1/4 pay for 1/6 the cost of living that 0/100 job at 1/1 pay for 1/1 the cost of living.
We just need to outsorce the gov't so we can keep our Constitution.
Wait, does Pakistan like the U.S.?
The message on the other side of this sig is false.
Guess you didn't think that one through ;)

Software pirate!! ;)
It seems to me that when the music and film industries complain about prirating, we often cry out that they are just refusing to deal with changing technology. They ought to adapt. If they can't adapt, they ought to go out of buisiness.
I agree, if Hollywood wants us to stop pirating movies then they should follow Bollywood and produce nothing but Hindi musicals. That would put an end to the piracy.

Unless, of course, if you have bought every penis enlargement pill that was offered through your emails, you may be able to reach all the way to India.
