    @designbot:

    but yeah part of what I'm saying is about engineering, there is industrial and product design involved in making electronics and games... I just don't see how a cultural divide could bar someone from being good for something as subjective as design. I'm french canadian and I'm surrounded by people that are culturally different from me, I see it on a daily basis now that I live in calgary (more so when I was living in London) but it's transparent most of the time.

    I regularly get praised for having "an original" take on certain design problems but deep down I know I'm being pretty fucking generic, that is if I were still in Montreal.

    • I hear ya. Certainly there are good Indian designers. I just think the mentality is much different...and you can't really outsource design for rock bottom prices and expect some great result.designbot

    • Sure there will be exceptions to this rule and folks who can design across cultures effectively. But you can't ignore the cultural differencesdesignbot
    • the cultural differences and language barriers that exist. These are real problems.designbot
    • plus doesn't it make you kind of mad that companies like IBM are doing nothing more than exploiting India to make more profit?designbot
    • profit?designbot
    • the way I see it, both our countries suffer.designbot
    • Oh I'm fucking enraged at this shit, I hope some other IT company hires these competant workers and fucks IBM up the ass with a new and better product.zarkonite
    • IBM up their ass with a new and better product.zarkonite
