Microsoft Outsourcing High-Level Work

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the saying-good-bye-to-the-middle-class dept.

philistine writes "The Seattle Times reports
A Seattle labor group said it has new evidence that Microsoft is shifting high-level work to foreign contractors, including work on the next version of Windows. The evidence is a cache of Microsoft contracts with Indian technology vendors that were leaked to the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers, an AFL-CIO affiliate that has focused on outsourcing in its effort to organize tech workers."

    Here's the god awful color again. How tough it this to change? Who decided on this horrible, horrible, horrible color scheme? I have no idea, by I'm blaming TacoBoy!

    Here's an idea. Next time my dog takes a really nasty crap I'll pick it up, pit it in a box, and send it you. Then you can base the next color scheme change on the colors you find in there.

    Sound good? Oh... and I don't want to get modded down so:

    Apple good. US bad. Bush evil!

    That should do it. +5 insightful here I come.

      How about we not worry about color schemes and we start worrying about how lame it is that they have put EVERYTHING in "IT". I was much happier when they used more intelligent sections.

      Perhaps we also need to suggest that they add ipod.slashdot.org so that we can block out the daily foursome of stories about the stupid bullshit the fucking iPod can do while still reading about MacOS X zealotry.

      Let's go Taco. We are subscribers and we are footing at least a portion of the bill. Listen to our concerns.

      Hasn't really bothered me as I use RSSReader and just grab the aggregate feed. For some reason they don't use the subdomains for posting stories in the RSS so when linking to the story from my reader I just get the good ol' green scheme.

    The light beige color makes anything that's a link blend in with the white background too much. I have to strain to read them.

    I don't mind the colors in general, but the links need to be a darker color.
