Why you shouldn't outsource

Here is a good, commonsense, argument against outsourcing. That is, the peopel who are doing the outsourced work suck.

Take the web-site of CompUSA, and their page for the hit crap movie, Matrix Revolutions. This is really crazy. As usual, click for a larger view.

And while I'm on the subject of The Matrix Revolutions, I am sick that I have to buy this movie. Well, I don't actually have to buy it, but since it IS a trilogy, and I have the other 2 movies, I should buy this to be consistent.

1st congratulations on the upgrade. Panther is worth the cost if only for the folder sidebar and expose - but that's only scratching the surface.

2nd the Safari screenshot in my Safari window really messed with my head.

have you tried the tabs feature in Safari? The nice thing is that if you have a folder of bookmarks in the bookmarks bar, which you do, command clicking on the folder name will open each link in its own tab. A great way to read a list of blogs. (if you have high speed access)

Yes, I've been using Safari for a while. I upgraded to Panther from Jaguar. Though it didn't go off without a hitch.

Nothing ever does!

But even the hardcore windows guys in IT were impressed when I showed them How I could load 27 sites with 1 click.
