Why would anyone pay $499 for a tablet when you can buy one for $399? Or pay $329 for a mini- tablet when you can buy one for $199? I’m sure it will take you only a nano (no iPod pun intended) second to figure out that Apple’s iPad is $499 and being challenged by Google, “Google Unveils Nexus 10 $399 Tablet”. My second example is Apple again. A blog in the Huffington Post “ iPad Mini vs. Kindle Fire HD: Amazon Compares Its Tablet To Apple’s In New Ad” labels Apple’s price point as “gutsy” (that is not the actual word that was used but I am being Politically Correct ). Will Apple be able to burn a hole through Amazon’s Kindle Fire even at a much higher price? Probably.

Of course I know – I’ve been following the 7-Eleven poll (blue cup – red cup purchase preference) and it is the best poll out there J. Predicting human behavior has long been the holy grail of prognosticators since the dawn of time and it takes on an almost mystical and magical hue during elections…..

Warning! Warning! – This is NOT a political post. You will not find a single mention of either party or any candidate SO please proceed!! Yes, go ahead breathe a sigh of relief! This is not being written to persuade you to support my political views or beliefs. My purpose is merely to discuss one simple question – Do politics have a place in the office or not . . . and I am NOT referring to office politics?

In a recent posting on Business Week, I had written about the dynamic nature of outsourcing strategies and why companies must develop an exit decision model and an exit strategy concurrently when they first decide to outsource(offshore). The GM decision to insource their IT function, which had been 90% outsourced, might be a perfect example of that concept. They are currently looking for 10,000 IT professionals!!
