Until I lost 900 videos, I never actually considered there was anything unsafe about trusting a company such as Google to protect my data. After all, who keeps photos in a shoebox anymore?

He contacted all the copyright holders. It was only after each one retracted their complaints, that Google reinstated his videos. [9] Contents

Reviews
Outsourcing to India: The Offshore Advantage, a book by Mark Kobayashi-Hillary comes at the right time. It aims to introduce India to the first-timers, the majors players in the Indian service industry, the reasons why one should utilize India as an offshore outsourcing destination and how to go about finding the right local partner to work with.[12]

[Who Moved my Job?] is a lightweight short story on outsourcing, which continues to prove that even in these modern times you can still use allegory to make a point. This pocket-sized book is designed to be read in 30 to 40 minutes. The author has written several books focused on outsourcing, change, and globalisation, but then had an idea that he could use a short story format to illustrate some of his ideas around career change, migration and outsourcing.
