The American Dream is alive and well...in India and communist China!

Page and Brin said they were visiting India looking for "extraordinary talented entrepreneurial people who want to make a big change in the world."

As long as they enjoy working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for 10 grand a year, of course....

the two shopped in New Delhi's Connaught Place, rode in a three-wheel motorized rickshaw in Hyderabad and spent time like a "couple of sophomore backpackers doing India,"

They're actually not much older than a couple of sophomore backpackers.

Ten grand a year is HUGE money in India. Why would a company pay someone $80K a year when they can get the same production for $10K?

Google has been heavily advertising for programmers in the U.S. for at least a year. Any science or technical magazine will have a google ad.

Hmmm, why don't they just use Google to look for "extraordinary talented entrepreneurial people who want to make a big change in the world" ? Cobbler's children... etc?

Uh, oh. "make a big change in the world."

Time to get ready to short this pig.

This includes developing search engines that will present results based on speech input or drawings,

Speech recognition and speech synthesis and assistive technology. WOW ! How novel ! Bet, no-one has ever thought of this before. Let's re-invent the wheel ! In fact, let's outsource re-inventing the wheel !

ones that will work in more languages than at present,

k0oL ! Let's pretend AltaVista's Babelfish technology doesn't exist.

personalizing search results to suit individual preferences,

I suppose that Personalized Web Searches and set ups at my.yahoo.com might be pretty much what they're talking about here.

and new features for Google's new e-mail service, they said

Likewise for Yahoo's already existing mail services. And since Gmail.google.com service already exists, why would they outsource to develope a technology that they already have.

More importantly, is it prudent to invest in a company like this ?

Google Founders on Hiring Trip to India

The "founder" is a verb or a noun. Reads differently depending.

I don't blame them for looking for the most brilliant people they can find - in any country of the world.
