No So Clie

It seems the Sony has dropped all of its Clie line here in the US. The handheld market is sucking as there really is no need to buy a $500 device when you can buy a full computer for $100. At least that is my thought, and the fact that cell phones never evolved enough to run CE or Palm without being the size of a brick.

Kinda sucks tho, my guess is they are now focusing more on the Indian market since everything else is being "outsourced" to there. You know it makes me feel good when the following things occured in history:

We "outsourced" all of the steel industry to a foriegn country, then we had to support all of the laid off steel workers with tax dollars until they could be retrained to work at McDonalds.

We "outsourced" the clothing manufacturing industry to a foriegn country, then we had to support all of the laid off mill workers with tax dollars until they could be retrained to work at Wendys.

We "outsourced" the auto industry, the electronics manufacturing industry, and yes things are cheap but fewer can afford as they don''t have decent jobs to support themselves.

And now for years myself and others have made the case that our jobs in the computer industry that we could work from home ro on the go. Well we have made it to f*ing easy to do such things so now our employment can take place in India, Honduras, China, or Korea. It is not like any business person could understand a word that any tech geek was saying anyway, what does it matter as long as it costs less and gets "somewhat" the same result.
