It's not like the natives had jobs before the companies came in.
Over time what happens is the sweat shop given the right infrastructure,
the people become self reliant and form their own companies.
Wasn't japan, korea, taiwan once sweatshop to american companies.
Now they kick our collective arses in electronics, automobiles & other industries.
it's not all the gloom & doom antiglobalization zealot makes it out to be.
He doesn't count the licenses to IIS servers, exchange servers plus whatever tools
goes into making a complete browser/server system.
I can say giving away cell phones for free is retarded but that would be missing

I too call bullshit.
In most tech company it's not your race that matters. But your abilities.
Heck you don't even have to be fluent in english.
In my experience we have many programmers that are non white. Mostly Indians.
Based on the houses they live in, where they live and the cars they drive..

Go back 5 years and name a company that didn't have a pirated copy of Windows X, Office X, any windows software.
Add to this ease of piracy and the legions of folks who knew how to get around bugs and glitches of the OS. The OS had stability issue but there was always a way to work around it.
Until Windows 2k & XP Microsoft was like American cars of the 70s. They broke down but everyone kinda knew how to fix em.
Nowadays everyone take their car to the shop for minor maintenance.
My only real peeve w/Firefox is the download manager. You can choose where it goes but after download completes the only choice available is to launch it.

there's prolly a good reason why people have abandoned the city.
I hear realestate in Katrina is also cheap, should

Look at the success of Ogg Vorbis.
With over a million zealots hanging on your every word.
Depending on WoW's login server to give a Keynote presentation is not a wise decision.
