You do realise where iPads are built and how much those people make? :-)

Outsourcing work to cheaper places is part of this world, and sites like eLance bring the power to outsource to people like you and me instead of just letting large companies enjoy it.

Also, you don't know what job that Kenyan would have had to accept if it wasn't for eLance.
