LA Times Examines Silicon Valley

Richard Finney writes "The Los Angeles Times has a special section on Silicon Valley. Most of the stories focus on the 'survivors struggling through the toughest stretch in tech industry history.' There's also a story on Five Reasons to Hope - New technologies that may help Silicon Valley rise again: Biotech, microsensors, nanotechnology, flexible electronics and data mining. We'll see."

This ain't flamebait, moderators

It's the truth, and it's a warning, too.

Nanotech and the CIA based security jobs that are cropping up in silicon valley now, are not the kind of industries where you can get into unless you have a lot of experience (and security clearance, in some cases). And nanotech research and/or development can easily be farmed out to countries where wages are low, and labor laws are lax.

I'd welcome anyone who disagrees, to put up their own points.
