It has been a long while before I can find a bit time to write something on my blog. Working in an enterprise does not seem too easy for me. Maybe I am a bit over-committed to my work. :)

Are big companies reducing offshore workers to save the domestic employees? Well, in the financial crisis time, this may happen in certain cases. Offshore software development has been proved to be working well by many cases. And people are aware of all the possible issues and problems to do offshore. Once the benefit is reducing too much, it will be for countries like China, India to re-think their strategy of gaining economy growth on IT development. Well, maybe oursource their work to USA?
Do you like Google Books? Well, it is a good tool based on great ideas. But there are still copyright issues. Recently Google has settled several such issues with Association of American Publishers in order to clear out the way for itself to provide online access to copyrighted books.
Microsoft is releasing parts of its Oslo modeling initiative in its recent Professional Developers Conferences. Seems that IBM rational tools will face more challenges in the near future. MS is quite good at providing friendly toos for developers. Hopefully the Oslo tools will bring more impressive experiences than the IBM tools.
