Thinking In .NET
A place to learn about C# and the .NET platform, by Larry O'Brien. But mostly the obligatory braindump cross-linking that characterizes the blogsphere.

Analysis: In shift, IT vendors outsource R&D to India. Companies tap India to reduce development costs [InfoWorld: Top News] LOB: This is primarily anecdotal (there's no numbers that justify the concept that a "shift" is occurring or accelerating), but it's interesting to see companies like Ericsson and Cisco being discussed, as outsourcing has not been as popular with companies involved in systems-level programming.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Americans with Disabilities Act, but I'm shocked to read that a judge has ruled that it doesn't apply to cyberspace. Of all the endeavors that might deserve a mandate of accessibility, I would rank computer programs (at least, commercial Web sites) very high. If it makes sense to force the PGA to accept a handicapped golfer, then certainly it makes sense to force Southwest to make its Internet-only fares accessible to the blind. The act has turned into a bit of a showcase for the law of unintended consequences (oh, my God! I'm linking to the Cato Institute!), but it's a darn shame that the Web, which started out as being one of the most accessible software systems (thanks in large part to Lynx), is being given a pass, when the effort required to make a Web site accessible is generally low.
