My experience was that the bosses were generally older people who liked printed reports best, and emailed pdfs a very bad second. OTOH when it's your turn, you would insist on dashboards while you staff would be wondering why you do not prefer the latest and greatest way to represent data.

Submission + - Philippines call centers overtake India (nytimes.com) 1

Submitted by ajitk
ajitk writes: This year, call centers in Philippines employed 50,000 more people than India’s 350,000.
From the New York Times article:
More Filipinos — about 400,000 — than Indians now spend their nights talking to mostly American consumers, industry officials said, as companies like AT&T, JPMorgan Chase and Expedia have hired call centers here, or built their own.
Nevertheless, the financial benefits of outsourcing remain strong enough that the call center business is growing at 25 to 30 percent a year here in the Philippines, compared to 10 to 15 percent in India
In spite of its recent growth, the Philippines is a much smaller destination for outsourcing more broadly — India earns about 10 times as much revenue from outsourcing.

Submission + - US Gov't Seizes 130+ More Domains In Crackdown (torrentfreak.com) 1

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: The DoJ and ICE have once again taken up the banner of anti-piracy and anti-counterfeiting by seizing over 130 domains allegedly involved in those activities. TorrentFreak points out that this newest digital raid happened just before 'Cyber Monday,' a time when consumers are encouraged to do a bunch of online shopping. From the article: 'Compared to previous seizure rounds, there are also some notable differences to report. This time the action appears to be limited to sites that directly charge visitors for their services. Most of the domains are linked to the selling of counterfeit clothing (e.g. 17nflshop.com), and at least one (autocd.com) sold pirated auto software. Last year several sites were taken down because they allowed their users to access free music and movie downloads, and these were followed by several streaming services a few months later. No similar sites have been reported in the current round.'
