Today’s crushing blow to our self confidence comes to us from India, where a 9 year old girl has become the youngest person to ever pass a Microsoft Certified Professional
stealing the title from a 10 year old pakistani girl.

1 Timezone
With increased globalization, however, I think it’s time to just throw the whole time zone thing in the trash and have 1 universal time.

Globalization definition
A UN canteen in Liberia. Spanish soccer on TV. Belgian beers on hand. A Korean, a Kenyan, an American, Pakistani peacekeepers, and… a karaoke machine. Pakistani belting out Madonna’s La Isla Bonita, a trio of Africans singing We Are the World.
10000s of highly skilled workers turned away
funny commentary by the uneducated & lazy after the post
Time Out Almaty

Chinese Insourcing
But Liu is investing $10m in South Carolina, building a printing-plate factory that will open this fall and hire 120 workers. His main aim is to tap the large American market, but when his finance staff penciled out the costs, he was stunned to learn how they compared with those in China. Liu spent $500k for 30k m2 in Spartanburg — less than 25% what it would cost to buy the same amount of land in Dongguan. US electricity rates are about 75% lower, and in South Carolina, Liu doesn’t have to put up with frequent blackouts.

Post-scientific society
the term post-scientific really scared me, but their assertion that
American innovators may have a historic opportunity to convert the scientific know-how from abroad into market gains and profits.
rings true.
Skeleton Black Market
Investigative journalist Scott Carney has been working for the last half a year or so on a story about grave robbers in Calcutta who steal skeletons and sell them to medical supply companies in the US and Europe. “To research the story I combed the state of West Bengal and saw huge piles of police-confiscated bones. I even spoke to some of the people who deflesh human bodies for a living.”
makes sense, since we already outsource many of our medical studies to india as well. medicine will be increasingly catering to indian people i suppose 🙂
Trade confusion
60% of voters nationwide agreed with the statement that “foreign trade has been bad for the US economy.”
a nice example how the stupid (majority) can really screw things up for everybody, because their intuition is completely wrong
