I like how HN is so blatantly anti-Microsoft, but Reddit is overly Microsoft supportive. Which hipsters do I believe in?!

People would be up in arms against Apple? Are you new to HN? Apple is HN's baby.

It's obvious companies want to increase H1-B for hiring top talent at lower salaries.
An amazing programmer in India or China probably makes 1/10th of what he would make in America, but they don't know this. They'll be recruited to America on H1-B but they won't contend their salary, they'll be happy making 2x or 3x their previous salary, even if it's 45k/year. Their ability to negotiate salary will be further hindered by a strong possibility of poor-English skills, therefore inability to communicate well.

And your dismissive ad-hominem style of avoiding rebuttal is also increasingly common on here. That isn't a good thing. Stop avoiding arguments directed against you just because you think you might be wrong.
