If neither get a piece of the upcoming market rises in India & China - the future is not good for either. and a bonus ( in their eyes) - they could each lay off even more workers doing 'duplicate roles' -- Not a pretty picture, I hope they find some way to turn this around... <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=2457977" target="_blank">http://abcnews.go.com/Business /wireStory?id=2457977</a>
