I thought Lars comparison was odd when it highlighted one company in green at the top--turns out he works for that company. See here: http://www.slidescanningpros.com/comparison.html.

Blaming outsourcing for loss of jobs is reactionary, protectionist, and myopic. America's greatest arose from innovation, not avoiding international competition. Bashing work in other countries is like anti-globalization protesters smashing business's windows.

I think it's a shame that business is as negative as it is today, however, I do understand Scott Crossen's frustration at the rampant outsourcing of Americans' jobs. His disenchantment is nothing to be ashamed of. Companies like ScanCafe are contributing to the loss of possible American jobs by undercutting those that have made this country great. Besides, Scott and his company did nothing that every major product line does in their advertisements--"4 out of 5 agree you should use our product over theirs" etc...Watch TV for five minutes and you'll see one of these.Keep up the good work Scott! When everything is up and running again, continue to keep clients informed of quality differences and shady outsourcing. We're all keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Digmypics.com burned to the ground in Arizona. Glad to hear no one was hurt, but DigMyPics should think about Karma.

They should have focused on their own business and not try to bully others. DigMyPics CEO Scott Crossen sounded like sour grapes and low class on all of his posts.

Congratulations to ScanCafe for being professional and letting their quality speak for itself, rather than sink to DigMyPics lows.

what has happened to digmypics.com? They are disappeared. All my [photos were on their website ... they were saved and on the server at the time of the fire! My photos are now gone. Why didn't they say they were going out of business. Their phones just ring..take no message. WIERD!??

I think this battle is over, due to the fire at DigMyPics. (See the letter from the owner on their website.)

(Even if they rebuild, who would send their negatives there again? Sounds like the fire destroyed numerous orders.)

Yes, competitors are always in a never ending battle is seems, but I will never support outsourcing. Is cause us to loose jobs. Why should we be concerned about financing India when we can barely finance ourselves?

Interesting post.
It seems competitors are always battling each other in this as well as many other digital industries.
