Making the impossible merely improbable since 1968

Oh, the irony

Maybe this is why they get such big salaries...

According to this article on AustralianIT, demands for tech execs are big and getting bigger. At least in Australia. Though, according to the article, "The US Semiconductor Industry Association is expecting double digit growth in 2004". Hmm, really? Well, I wonder how many of the jobs will go overseas to pay for the salaries of the executives?

Defending Greed

Who are they kidding?

The article on AustralianIT is titled "US tech firms defend 'offshoring' ", but it's just a defense of greed. Overpaid tech executives want to ship more jobs overseas based on cost and nothing more. That's all well and good, but what about their overpriced salaries? Are they willing to cut costs there? Nope. They're willing to batter the American Worker, but not trim the biggest fat of all, their own damn salary.

Not Ready For Prime Time

Okay, maybe not even ready for America at all...

If you've read this blog much, you know I have a degree in Marketing, not Computer Science. You also know this means that I often find silly marketing things funny. Well, today is no exception. Ad Age has a page of Ten Ads America Won't See that's worth a look.
Some of them are so culturally relevent that they seem strange to people outside their demographic. Some are just plain wierd! But, they're all fun, in their own way...
