Absolutely! I worked for months and months, trying to inspire, direct, encourage, support my Bangalore counterparts to show some personal initiative in solving sticky problems. Even the most basic eluded them, and it was an uphill battle getting them to step out on a limb and take a chance at being proactive. This story in the NYT absolutely positively reflects the realities of my own experiences, and actually substantiates what I've been saying for years (but have been accused of being anti-Indian for saying). I say, it's anti-Indian for any institution to pretend to prepare its students for the working world, whilst turning them loose with little more than the ability to follow instructions.

The missing link: easy to find extensions

I've been using FF since the early days, and it's been gratifying to find so many extensions being built. I can forgive it the resource hogging (I experience that too), and I can forgive it some of the instability, so long as it doesn't hose my system. But if someone could figure out a better way to organize all the extensions and make them easier to sort through, that would be a plus. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I'd just as soon not having to page through 5 screens of fairly verbose descriptions of what I don't want, before I find what I do want...
