Software architecture and systems engineering is the higher-level design and engineering that happens in the development of something like a wireless network. That's not getting outsourced. That's core business.
Iunno man, the critical hardware is definitely being outsourced. Why not the software?
I'd say whatever tech corporation offshores the design of the systems that form the core of their business are doomed.

The only way that makes sense is if the intended market for that system is offshore. So, if I were to develop some technology specifically for Chinese markets, I would consider building a facility in China and developing it there. But if we are talking about, say, the design of the latest Droid device for Motorola, then Motorola would be suicidal to offshore the design of the hardware and software for that device to China. Which.. knowing Motorola management, I'd say that was a distinct possibility before Google took over, and now Google is taking the same path Motorola once did.

Don't offshore your actual business.

Yet that's exactly what most tech companies are doing.

Good. Plenty of room for innovators to take over, then.

Sure, if you can somehow convince the government to stop handing them monopolies.

Somehow I don’t see that happening to Microsoft or Apple anytime soon.

Isn't this amazing and sadistic as hell? I wonder how many dozens of similar docs have done this over the past thirty years or so and in the US? One can speculate and imagine...

This part is fucked up...
In some instances, state prosecutors said, Dr. Cline even told women that he was using their husbands’ sperm but provided his own
It sounds like in most of the cases, the sperm was supposed to be from "anonymous donors" though. I don't really have a problem with that.
