This article is entertaining for two reasons. The first is the juxtaposition above. I supposed they meant to indicate that programming is highly portable and not that its a low skill job. The second thing that I find entertaining is how different this is from what you read a few years ago. Someone on Slashdot asked if these researchers just take the slope of the graph from the last two years and draw it out without any consideration for how the situation might change? I reached a point during the .com boom where I mentally counter indicated anything that Jupiter Research published. Maybe I should start ignoring these people all together.
