Although I partially agree with you on your statements (as I am brazilian myself), and given the fact that most people die slowly from the day they are born, I wonder what was the intention of this comment.
Better. You just need to cross the street to go to foxconn's competitor. Literally. And yet most people go for it - because it pays better, and it is a little better, too.
If you only consider "Sanjay-would-do-anything-and-is-grateful-for-any-job", then you are right.
They certainly send money home. And don't be fooled, they would bring their whole family to live with them, if they could.
But they spend money locally as well. They also buy ipads, toilet paper and food, like everybody else.
However, the discussion is not about them. Skilled workers are not necessarily those. Skilled workers, local or foreign, are the ones who can found startups, teach at universities and contribute with taxes. A lot of taxes.
Patents play a role here. Who would want to develop software in this country, when some idiot in texas can patent broad terms and just keep looking for people to sue?
Do you realize that we are talking about a game, for a console which I already have, and for which I am wanting to buy an original game?
If I have to spend more 200 dollars on an identical game console just for a single game, I might as well just buy one of these mod chips for a fraction of the price that a) unlocks regions, b) let me play any game I want without spending a dime EVER AGAIN, for one third of the cost of a new console, that brings its own hassles: another network port, another power outlet, more space on my room etc etc.
Your suggestion makes no sense at all. It makes me want to pirate the thing when I just wanted to buy it legally.
1) I do not own a PS3. That's two hundred-something dollars I could spend on a better guitar 2) It's a sony product - I had a ps3 before, until they took my capability of playing my old games and using it as a pc with linux. I do not plan to buy something that becomes LESS useful with time - for that I have microsoft windows. 3) It does not update or lets you get DLC in Europe, as they are still negotiating with some people in UK.
However, it is not only not for sale in europe - the american version does not run on european XBOXes, unlike most of the XBOX games available.
Conclusion: I will buy it in the us, much cheaper, for sure, than they will sell when (or if) they release it in Europe, and then use a pirated version downloaded from somewhere in order to actually play it on my own console.
Would be much easier it they stopped bitching and just sold the damn thing - either here, or unlocked.

I wouldn't find it strange that there is a finger or two from their competitors...

Oh come on, life in Flint, MI, is great now!!!
One thing is to take decisions based on a set of premises. Another is believing. Believing for itself is blind.
I believe in climate change, personally
Please, do not BELIEVE in anything. Question, prove, discover, argue!
Believing is being controlled. It has been like that forever. Be it religion, the government or whatever.
Because there are small trolls as well, after the small fish.

More skilled workers means that
- some of them will eventually be enterpreneurs
- it's easier to find people for specific fields of knowledge
More foreign people in that case actually means more jobs for the locals as well, as the economy around it grows.
Last time I asked if it was fine to have an erection while being patted down. They let me go.
Look at www.fon.com
I hope they call the GUI command startW! That would not be a copy, no sir!
And X, of course.
OS/2, are you back from the grave?
That was probably in a country where people do not know how to drive with manual shift....
They need faster processors to deal with CarrierIQ's overhead on looking at everything you do and sending them every keystroke.
oh by the way: pc version is already available. http://www.amazon.com/Rocksmith-Pc/dp/B004S5TDUQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1322323015&sr=1-1

The PS3 version has a couple shortcomings:
1) I do not own a PS3. That's two hundred-something dollars I could spend on a better guitar
2) It's a sony product - I had a ps3 before, until they took my capability of playing my old games and using it as a pc with linux. I do not plan to buy something that becomes LESS useful with time - for that I have microsoft windows.
3) It does not update or lets you get DLC in Europe, as they are still negotiating with some people in UK.
Which will not work with any of my other games? Thanks, but, no, thanks. Then I just get the pc version. Region locks are stupid.
I would LOVE to buy Rocksmith.

He wants to learn. So yes, a dslr. Or a rangefinder, which has the advantage of being small and fast.
It seems olympus went bankrupt.
Easy to say because he is British. You know, a llot of countries are pretty hard on this citizenship thing..
