Rosetta Stone
Anyone ever try their products to learn a new language? I'm looking to learn my native tongue so I can curse you all out in Korean, or at least Korenglish and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. I tried Berlitz to learn German, but I quickly lost interest (Probably because I was distracted with driving to work).
It's an expensive product ($500 for the 3 series) and trying to figure out if it's worth the expense?
EDIT: I also want to learn it so I can speak Korean around non-Korean speakers and make them think I can't speak English, just to mess with their head. Is that wrong?

I think its worth it if you have the extra cash. Its a really good program supposedly.
You never know when another language would come in handy.
EDIT: And yes, that is wrong. But oh so funny. I personally like when, for example, you go to a Chinese restaurant and the workers talk bad about you in a foreign language...thinking you don't speak it. My dad speaks fluent Chinese, so he picked up on quite a few of their insults toward us
(bad tip ect.)

Im assuming you're talking about IT outsourcing?
As long as you're in an area where they actually need a technician there to fix customers computers, set up networks, ect, you will always have a job here.
Now something like programming or over the phone tech support can be easily outsourced to India.

RE: Rosetta Stone
This is true tech, but so much more can be done remotely now than ever before, and the amount of hands on techs you actually need is minimal. In fact, it's most viable for a company to outsource their phone support and remote administrators while keeping a tech teamthat covers a small geographical area...
