all I was saying is that software as an industry is not mature. Some software products are mature and companies that build those probably should offshore. But calling the software industry mature, which is what some CEOs like Larry are arguing, is just a way for them to hijack new ideas from silicon valley and US universities. Congress knows and understands the scam. If I were building a company in SV now, assuming I had the appropriate background (which I don't unfortunately)- I would be focussing on this media area, content over the web stuff like that, an area of software that is most definitely NOT mature. Flooding SV with cheap H1-B labor will not help the creative process for new ideas to germinate here. Ellison wants to keep h1-Bs because he can have his cake and eat it too, he can be "in" SV watching to hijack all the new ideas and at the same time build his existing product for dirt cheap with below market workers. Market doesn't work that way, or doesn't he remember how he brought down IBM (of course he does).
