Outsourcing fingered as UBS cops £30m fine

Peer review of process and security?

Speaks of poor security and peer reviewing of processes. I doubt if anyone in UBS/London can write a specification for this, let alone having capability to ascertain risks.

And London is where most of these poor decisions have originated leading to not just this but also the fall of 2008.

No wonder 4 banks I know are moving out of England. Deutsche Bank is one of them and making their operations in Chennai and Frankfurt larger!

The Condom nation

See , a bad condom will be taken away and analysed for failures. That is what the Americans are doing to the Brits.

No condemnation accepted from a condom nation.

Asian recruiters on the prowl for IT managers

Yeah right outsourcing will collapse when a few managers from the "West" dont board a plane!

So much for superior Western education eh?

Re: False economy

And you thought the rest of the world are dumb to agree to your highly biased demands.?

A long time ago, the West accused the rest of the world of protecting their markets. Some 25 years later, things have come full circle.

And the funny thing is, you think this is reversible.

Keep dreaming.

Your anger is better vented against your own IT managers and business leaders. Oh wait - they are in Caribbean islands!

Apple's secret outsource: 'Even more software to be made in India'

Comprehension fail

Are you comparing development of Putty/MySQL with enterprise applications for companies and saying they are the same? Do you understand business at all and what outsourcing is and what is being outsourced.

By your same argument, does it mean that because UK does not have a space launch vehicle, no space-based industry meets quality standards there?

Back to suckling for you then.

Shows the quality of the those who outsource.

Is this a congregation of sore whiners and losers - "I know someone who outsourced something and result was bad. Bad Bangalore. Bad India. UK is the best" .

Simples- It shows the quality of the those who outsource. And if they are of piss poor quality, I can only say that the ecosystem that produces them is basically untenable.

UK quality is not something marketable unlike "Made in Germany" branding. India knows this too well from Westland helicopters saga!

UK space agency to boldly send techies ... behind a desk

India cracks down on the Blackberry

Expense scandal - noble pursuit?

Ah the noble British MPs - expenses scandal is a noble pursuit or what?

You lost!

Whoa! Chillax. Easy! Have a cuppa chai!

You can imagine all kindsa straw men . - governmental blackberries, snooping on trade secrets etc - but when it comes to implementing policy, when things need to be written down , thankfully people are more educated and much more experienced than you. Instead of this arm-flailing, why don't you sit down and read governmental policies worldwide. Why don't you see how checks and balances are implemented before you scream murder !

The Indian government is now passing a bill where Intelligence agencies are monitored by an all-party parliamentary panel. A record has to be maintained of all intercepts and can be viewed by everyone in the panel. Agencies will need approval before they intercept someone. That is the way it works. It does away with political misuse and does away with infringement of privacy.

This bill is expected to passed in parliament as all political parties were brought in for the debate during framing.

See? Arm-flailing - Zero, Policy Makers - One! You are losing!

Have you see UK law on this BTW? If you are an ISP, you have certain regulations you have to comply to regarding terrorism. I bet you have never seen those documents. Ask BSKYB or TalkTalk and they will tell you .

See? Arm-flailing - Zero, Policy Makers - Two! You are losing!

The issue here is about terrorism emanating from a famous neighbour. And intelligence agencies rely on various platforms and methods - humint, mobile intercepts, and monitoring activity on the Internet. Did you know that the US/India//EU/UK/ share information on possible terrorist plans? When the police knock on doors on Bradford. do you really think they decice to choose some random person? It relies on a vast network where information is shared. Allowing channels to go unnoticed gives bad people a chance to organize horrific things.

This government "paranaioa" that you describe is hardly that. It is based on sound policies and fair use. And goevernments worldwide have different priorities than you. And the government always wins - the price you pay for enjoying security and law.

See? Arm-flailing - Zero, Policy Makers - Three ! Three strikes - you LOST!

And remember : governments worldwide have different priorities than you. And the government always wins - the price you pay for enjoying security and law. Unfair? possibly. It is easy on the brain when you accept these and move on.

>> anyone who says it doesn't happen is in cloud cuckoo

Some debating skills you have. <rolleyes>
