OT what about 30 Stanford and Berkeley grads who did graduate work in the brand new area of web services, and were laid off from a startup company in 01? Of course there is a ton of web services development going on in india by US companies who once competed with my startup company. Maybe my ex-employees should move to india? Web services as a technology like most new web technologies had its origins in US universities, starting off the back of the b2b movement which was a 99 phenomenon. So can we assume the USA gets to benefit from these taxpayer funded initiatives for 6 mos before it is deemed "mature" and sent offshore by whoever the market share leader is at the time? Of course if you are the CEO of some huge company with an offshore coding farm, then this "free market" is mighty good- free R&D from universites, and competition locked out because they don't have the skill to open some offshore facility. My former CEO didn't much care for it though. And Accel is not thrilled either.
