I would use it to send quick messages to a co-worker or friend if for whatever reason the phone isn't an option. It's much better than using NET SEND anyways:)
Besides, where I work, nothing online is private. You get used to it after a while and know what you should and should not do.
Soybeans are hardy and grow well in many conditions. Plus they provide the protein that people need to survive without having to require yet another living thing who is just going to end up being slaughtered for consumption (cow, for example).
Sure it sucks to eat tofu every day, but you have to give something up to survive in such closed quarters.
You're not. Recalls might happen, but I can only see that in cases where it really matters (cars, planes, etc.). It's a QA problem, and if it wasn't detected in the MTBF analysis and testing, then they weren't doing their job.
Cutting corners = bad, but it's a business decision that needs to be made.
It could work if they had the right implementation. I run a lot of MATLAB simulations that require a day or so of compute time and lots and lots of disk space. Would I pay for just the compute time? Disk space too? What about installing MATLAB? Do I get my own Virtual Machine?
They can either do a kick ass job, or they can screw it up and it'll go down the tubes. In the end all that matters is everyone gets their jobs done with less money had they not done the processing locally.

If the chinese do it, so can you!
