It really is a scam. They bring the worker to the US, and train them. Then when their Visa is up, they send them back, and then offshore the work to their original country for pocket lint and buttons.
I propose a tax on vitamins, health foods, roids, and excercise equipment. If people are going to pay all that money to be healthy they should be taxed for it. Look at all those muscleheads on venice beach. Think of all the money we could get from them to give to children's education. And let's put an extra tax on Hollywood political campaign contributions.
They want you to connect your phone or tablet to your xbox360, and then use the phone or tablet as a keyboard to browse IE on the Xbox360? Why not just skip that and have an on screen keyboard? Or you know, actually connect a keyboard. They got these fancy wireless one now. Oh what does it matter, after my 6th broken Xbox360, I bought a PS3 and it has outlasted every single 360 I ever bought.
I remember that dumb terminals were all the rage about 20 yrs ago, and now we are back at the same place. Only now they have a fancier name like cloud computing. Or should one say keeping all your eggs in one basket (cloud?) computing? Cloud computing will just be another bump on the road of the cycle. Password resets, where is my any key, I want access to this, I want access to that, how do I get rid of this malware (can't wait for the first malware/virus that infects a whole cloud), the cloud is down, is the cloud raining, etc etc will keep us around for a long time
They can't keep workers because they hire on contract so they can avoid paying benefits, so people jump from one contract job to another whenever it's convenient. Employers show no loyalty so the contractors don't stick around.

Could be brain damage.

Looks like the Chinese, Russians, and Anonymous will soon have more targets to mess with.
If it's broken, get them to buy something to fix it.
They are working a deal with Nintendo to import your Mii
PS2 is a better system. 360 will just break down before you pay the thing off.
