Here are just a few of the recent posting regarding specifically IBM outsourcing to India. This is not mere idle chit-chat in a restaurant. Notice that IBM is still attracting good contracts, even from the State of California.

It was not "idle chit chat in a restaurant." It was two laid-off IBM'er's ranting. You've obviously never known any IBM'ers. The ol-timers tend to treat that company as they would their parents, and they get very vocal when mom and dad kick them out of the house. As it were.

The poster said the article was jusified by what he heard in a restaurant. I still don't see in the article this thread is based on where the 1,300 jobs are being replaced with foreigners.

The irony of the thing is that india doesn't have the infrastructure to support it and even if they did soon india won't be able to support the primary language of the US, which will be spanish.
