Oh yeah, let us not forget that old boy Lou quit his job at CNN back in the 1990s because he thought the swagger to join a "dot com" when "dot com" was in vogue. When Space.com didn't make Mr. Dobbs a multi millionaire, he went back to CNN with his tail between his legs asking for his old job back again. Now all he does is create cacophony as he incessantly sensationalizes topics such as outsourcing (if he doesn't sensationalize then he will once again be out of a job). 'nuff said!

Rumor has it that there is a lone company out there which fully documents their specifications to such a fine level of detail that they just email it to India and it comes back better, faster and cheaper. However, the for the rest of the companies, the communication lag and the lack of business understanding makes even simple tasks like web page creation become cumbersome.
