ROFLMAO!! Are you talking to me? An Acton resident was called away from dinner recently by a phone call from Robert De Niro. But it wasn't the actor--it was a Dell computer techie walking her through a problem from his office in Bangalore, India. In this era of satellites and the Internet, Dell is one of several companies that farm out support services to lower-paid workers in India. And the name De Niro? The techie explained that the Indian support personnel are encouraged to use American names to create a more familiar presence for customers. Obviously, he thought De Niro was more catchy than Bob Jones. latimes.com
