For most companies in US and western and northern EU countries, where are the best-fit outsourcing places? Well, there can be a few in the list. India, Canada, China, Philippines, Ireland, Russia, South Africa, Brazil, Mexico, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania. Even though India has been topping the list for the past years, one can start observing that countries like Canada, Ireland, and those in the eastern European area are able to start attracting more focuses.
The power of social computing is exploding. IBM recentlt opened its social software research center in Boston area. After so many years of focus on top IT solutions, many people in the industry are now thinking in improving the social ways of IT life.
How should we reflect from the technology's role in the Wall Stree crisis? Well, of course there are more business or economic reasons for the crisis, technology still takes certain responsibility as there are many risk-management systems used by these financial institutions.

As the old programmer saying has it, Garbage In, Garbage Out.
