Ahh, now we’re talking about a different kind of bubble.

Enjoy.

Hahah, I thought it couldn’t get any better, but apparently, it could and did. Thanks for the laugh. I guess all MSFT employee should be updating their resume as well, since APPL is eating MSFT’s lunch too. My favorite quote of all “Most apps on other phones are just noise.“[/quote]

Most enterprise mobile applications are running on windows mobile platforms…not the iphone or the palm. There’s alot of work out there in this space.

and AN, maybe you could come back with something sustantive, like “Most apps on the iPhone are just noise.”

In that case, you might have something, seeing that recent surveys indicate that only 15,000 out of over 65,000 apps available have been downloaded at all.

Then, I could at least come back with, yeah, but if you look at the built-in apps, Apple’s done a better job of making each one of them useful. And then, you could say… well, you get the idea.

Which brings me back to flu and just a reminder that if you think it’s hard to find good engineers, the really hard part is coming up with a product that will appeal to consumers. You’ve got a great idea, right?

[quote=DWCAP]Sounds more like a budgeting/expecations problem than a talent problem. [/quote]

I completely agree with this. Also, the conclusion was drawn too fast on US/foreign candidate quality. For one thing, if you pay them US wages, it will be several times their local wages. I’m sure you can persuade some people to join the company if you also pay several times the local wages here. Next, I don’t think you can rely on recruit’s recommendation when it comes to hiring foreign candidates, just like you don’t rely on a buyer agent’s recommendation on the house value. It is said that s many as one-third of all resume writers exaggerate their accomplishments, while up to 10 percent “seriously misrepresent” their background or work histories.
