Innovative solution to the H1B problem...Offshore Outsourcing! Plans are to have cruise ship(s) hanging out a few miles off the US coast and outside of US jurisdiction. Getting developers to stay on a ship might be interesting, though located in the nice sunny weather of California and the ability to take "tourist trips" helps. Plus they'll offer all the ammenities of a cruise including full on feasts, activities, etc.

Weird, but true. Now, why the US government can't make reasonable H1B policies is beyond me.
