IBM Shifts 14,000 Jobs to India

Posted by Zonk on from the wave-goodbye-to-blue dept.

Omar Khan writes "The New York Times reports, 'Even as it lays off up to 13,000 workers in Europe and the U.S., IBM plans to increase its payroll in India this year by more than 14,000 workers.' Slashdot previously covered the black-and-blue strike, in which the union wondered, 'if other cost cutting mechanisms could achieve the same effect without cutting so may jobs.'"

    Free as in dumb that is.

    All you liberal whiners are gpoing to complain about the transfer of jobs, then go back to giving your intellectual property away by coding Open Source projects for free.

    If you code for free, what difference does it make where you live?

    Open Source is Free, Free as in Dumb
