Cringely has a good one on outsourcing IT to India and why Linux is chosen over OS X. Just a wondering thought for the decision makers, if you already have a hard time communicating with the current US IT workers how is moving to workers some 8-12 hours in timezone and to a whole different culture going to improve the communication problems?

I think Cringely is overstating the case, but almost all of his points are valid.
