US Shoots Itself in the Foot, Again.

Check out this post by Kirk Laughlin concerning recent US legislation that increases the processing fees for H1B visa to $2,000. I suppose the bill’s sponsor, Senator Charles Schumer, has the intention of protecting US jobs but does he actually think that preventing highly-skilled technology workers from coming to the US is a good thing? In any event, it’s a boon for the Mexico tech market as the TN visa (the one that allows Mexicans to do the same thing) has been exempted. Bad for India, bad for the US, GOOD for Mexico!!!
Mexico has somewhere between 500,000 and 600,000 IT professionals, and the country graduates approximately 65,000 IT students a year. Both Guadalajara and Monterrey landed on Nearshore Americas ranking of the Six Leading IT Cities in the Nearshore Region.
Mexico plans to send astronaut into space. . .
. . .and by “astronaut” we mean “beer can”, and by “space” we mean “up over the garage, perhaps into the backyard”.
Mexico’s congress this week voted by a huge majority to create a new national space agency which could someday launch rockets from the Yucatan peninsula. Read More. The only real catch here is that they’ve only funded it with $800K. Don’t know about you, but I think I’ll be sitting out that first trip to the moon.

India to release iPad competitor – Cost? $35.00

It even does multitasking (second tablet sold separately)
MUMBAI, India — It looks like an iPad, only it’s 1/14th the cost: India has unveiled the prototype of a $35 basic touchscreen tablet aimed at students, which it hopes to bring into production by 2011.
If the government can find a manufacturer, the Linux operating system-based computer would be the latest in a string of “world’s cheapest” innovations to hit the market out of India, which is home to the 100,000 rupee ($2,127) compact Nano car, the 749 rupees ($16) water purifier and the $2,000 open-heart surgery.
The tablet can be used for functions like word processing, web browsing and video-conferencing. It has a solar power option too — important for India’s energy-starved hinterlands — though that add-on costs extra.
