Gartner: Outsourcing costs more than in-house | CNET News.com

Gartner: Outsourcing costs more than in-house | CNET News.com: "Outsourced customer service operations can cost almost a third more than those retained in-house, according to a new study by Gartner."

A few years back I had a very nice job that I greatly enjoyed. Then they lost a lot of business with the dot.gone love of 2001. I had never like working with 'tech' support that I could not understand. Having my position taken from me and given to some outsourced company drove it home.

I guess them are the breaks.

At least there is proof that what I knew all along.

"Most (offshore deals) are for level-one enquiries but not the full end-to-end customer service. People are sending bits of processes, but they have got wise as to what is and what is not suitable to be sent offshore,"

NPR : New Anime

NPR : New Anime Series Come to DVD: "Samurai Champloo"

I enjoy cartoons. Make do doubt about it. But since the whole advent of Sponge bob and the like I am really saddened by the state of animation in america. There are with out a doubt some very good exceptions found in Batman the animated series, Super man adventrues, Batman Beyound, and the Justice League.

Samurai Champloo has some rather "silly" episodes as did Cowboy Bebop. I wish I could find as a high quality level of anime and still be under the age of sixteen friendly. That goes right along with my quest for a resturant that has the McDonald's style play land and the quality food of Chillies or the Cracker Barrel.

*sigh*

Make sure to hit up the NPR link and give it a listen.

Star Wars: Republic Commando

Star Wars: Republic Commando: "Republic Commando makes use of the popular Unreal engine. While Fillbrandt says he was impressed with the capabilities of the engine, his team has extended it heavily. 'Our modifications include bump-mapping on characters, custom screen effects like specular bloom and distortion fields, a rewritten AI engine, a skeletal hit location system, and material-based sound effects,' he outlined."


I am by all means a First Person Shooter gamer. Its fun to see what new things they come up with. I LOVE the Jedi Knight series and starwars Battle front is fun as well.

Go lucas! Master milker for sure.
