    Harley Davidson

    If InfoShite works as well for those companies as they do for mine, then said companies should be done for in short order... At least these guys don't pretend to be "Bob" or some other westernized name.

    Oh, great.

    I can understand an Indian accent. But a Wisconsin accent?

    1,400 staff in a 14,000 sq foot building... that's 10 square feet each. Wouldn't want to work in that office!

    Staffers and engineers

    So let me get this straight. 125 staffers in the MidWest vs. 1,400 software engineers in India.

    Go USA!!
