Don't start flaming about the article or anything, but what i wanted to show was just a glimpse of what the actual truth is. I remember a friend of mine who explained me on what his clients from overseas asked for when they flew down here for a product demo. Seems like, the customers were very curious whether my friend could do 'The Rope Trick'. I'd say 'WTF' ??! Give me a break and grow up. Come out of such delusions and accept the facts about developing countries and the pervasive effects of globalization.

Well, whatever be it, i strongly beleive that it won't make sense to have opinions about facts !
