Meanwhile plenty of programmers here in the US pound the pavement (at least in the Cleveland OH area) and the biggest employers cry for more H1b's.

You have to admit one thing. Speaking a foreign language does not hurt the Indians.
Think we would ever see Americans in call centers for say a Chinese company taking customer service calls in Mandarin or Hindi?

They'll never get another dollar of mine since they screwed me out of my support contract. Heaven help you if you ever have a serious problem and need to call the support line because at worst they will make the problem bigger than it originally was by causing more problems, or at best they will not solve your problem and will waste a lot of your valuable time.

(Heavy Indian accent) Hello! Thank you for calling Dell computers. My name is (fill in American sounding name here), may I help you?
To: Fawn
I have nothing against our sourcing and hiring foreign workers or opening up factories overseas. I do have a problem with hiring customer service and tech supports reps who speak English as a 2nd language. I think if you are going to deal with customers you need to have a mastering of the language they speak.

Can't we do something about this? Last time I checked Dell could spend it's manufacturing budget as determined by Dell's board of directors to be best for Dell's sharholders. I guess you could boycott Dell, but I happen to like inexpensive computers.

Before anyone jumps in with their terrible experiences with Indian call center staffers...
Last week I had a problem with my PayPal account and needed to call to set it straight. The young woman in India was very professional (if not very technical) and was able to help me diagnose and rectify the problem within a few minutes.
It was obvious she had been through the "American accent" classes and she was very good. The only thing that gave her away was at the very end when she asked "Is there anything else I may be helping you with today?"
I can remember calling for tech support late in the evening years ago and getting a surly American working the night shift. And I was lucky the services was offered at all!
Having India take calls in the evening (their daytime) makes a lot of sense.

In the Tampa area, Nielsen Media Research and Verizon are employing their share as well.

I heard there's some software firm in Westlake called Highland Software that is hiring an additional 250 programmers.

Once they insisted on sending a technician over to my house to replace a sound card...wouldn't send it and let me do it....he smelled very badly of some cheap perfume and needed a shave....turned out it wasn't the sound card and they never figured out the IRQ conflict....took me an hour to get the smell out.
