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.
all of you.
...your are scoring too many points for the wrong team.
shut up.
lock this topic.
just SHUT UP!
Well, in addition to having one to many commas (after So) it is part of what should be a compound sentence, in a sentence started by "But" which is still a fucking no-no, I don't care what popular convention says rules are rules, and is also in a sentence with the word "homeworks" which should be "homework" as the plural of work is work. I am aware that the above is a run-on sentence.
How naiive.
Fact: People, particularly the western world, are fools. We've been brought up that way. Dumbed down, consumered up.
Fact: Other people don't care about us, they care about themselves. Do you care about Australia's sugarcane industry? Do I? Well, uh, not really, no. It doesn't really affect me.
Well, it does, but it's far too complex for me to bother working out so hey, I'll take the easy way out and ignore it like the rest of Australia.
Actually, in Australia people would probably care more about sugarcane than IT. But that's a whole other post.
Anyways, stop vesting your faith in people. The government is no better.
