Its not about being a "developed" or "undeveloped" country. Its about market demand. There are a lots of good programmers in India. But there are so many projects coming to India that these companies are willing to take even the bad ones. Hell they even hire people who don't know the head or tail of programming. Some friends of mine hate programming but there aren't many jobs in their branch of engineering and so, reluctantly get into software companies.
I wonder why even with such low standards these companies manage to get so many projects....

Part of the ruling in the UK was to put a notice on the website stating that Samsung did not copy Apple.
