Google is a global company. Based on your definition, Google would have to bring in labor from another planet for it to be considered "outsourcing".

You are fighting an uphill battle ;)

Google is simply hiring empoyees from another country. To state that individuals from another country are somehow on the "outside" is rather narrow-minded.

Anyway, the fact that they are hiring individuals from India to join the Google team isn't what is being disputed.. it's just your semantics of presenting the info. Either way, Google is expanding their global empoyee base (which IMHO is a great thing).
