It's still there, just press and hold the spacebar, and the cursor is now controllable by dragging your finger.

That "broccoli" is actually what the cosmic microwave background radiation looks like when properly focused and put through a green filter.

At Aperture Science, we do what we must because we can.

The difference is that according to one article skilled Immigrants are moving to Canada because they aren't welcome in the US, According to the other, young Canadians are moving out because the economy is stagnant.

Don't forget taxes!

He did go to the press, but the press was too scared of the government, and ignored him.

The data presented as evidence in TFA are about productivity and telecommuting. The data presented against the author's point aren't, they're about creativity and innovation. He's comparing apples and SUVs.

I have yet to see a study that says that telecommuting improves innovation in a company.

I think the author is missing the point here, that Google is more concerned about innovation than straight productivity. They know that if they don't innovate, they will go the way of Yahoo!.

The sky isn't falling. The earth is rising!

We we all sing kumbaya round the campfire and world peace will be achieved :)

Precisely their motivation to go there...low wages.

That's an excellent point.

I wasn't looking for my own financial gain when I left Honduras. I was part of a missionary team that planted a church in Monterrey, Mexico. I've since left Christianity, and become an agnostic.

But to the point, crime in my country is horrific and wages low. A lot of skilled developers have fled.

I wonder if I were successful in starting a company in Honduras I would be target for criminals and corrupt government officials. Crime and corruption are worsening every year there.

For instance, I was mugged 6 times in 2008, my final year in Tegucigalpa. Having your laptop stolen at gunpoint a few blocks from home, and being mugged every other month gets your attention! Kidnapping is very common there too, and not only for the rich. Also, a corrupt government official raided my workplace, accusing us of telephone fraud, because we competed with his state-owned company. We sued the government and won, after a year of litigation. But, my boss lost his marriage, his home, his car, and his savings in the process. Happily the corrupt official went to jail, even if it was for a different crime.

I think I could probably live in Monterrey, partner with someone in the US, and use the cheap labor in Honduras and Monterrey with the funding and market of the US. We could get the best of all three countries and everybody would win.

And it's the wet dream of most employers, to pay their employees less than half of what they do now. Since this is North America, you will not live comfortably on that. But why should they care, as long as their stock price rises and they get big bonuses?

If you're saying that the rich are overpaid in comparison with the wages of their employees, I agree with you.

Mitt Romney had to sell some stocks to make ends meet while he was in college. Since you went to school in the US, I expect you're familiar with having to do that. No, it's not a meritocracy, though we like to pretend it is.

I'm not sure what you mean here, are you implying I'm not familiar with poverty? You'd be wrong there.

Umm., no, Sam Walton paid for my scholarship. I paid for my own masters. Understand why I don't want to live in the US? Its attitudes like this.

I agree with General Secretary.

Anecdotal evidence:

I'm a Honduran who won a college scholarship to study in the US, but forced to return to Latin America immediately after graduation (1998). I now live in Mexico, and work as a consultant. Often I'm hired to do work for US firms, and am paid less than half of what I would be in the US. But since this is Latin America, these wages let me live comfortably in the middle class.

I've since got my master's degree, and dream about starting a company someday. But I hesitate to return to the US. If I did, because of my ethnicity and birth country, many would think I stole their job. But isn't the US a meritocracy? What about the American dream?

Happy to oblige! What's the RGB code for impressed?
