LA Times Examines Silicon Valley

Posted by michael on from the silly-valley dept.

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."

    And the sun rises in the east.

    What's worse? Someone gets paid to write this, or it actually gets read?

    I had to call Dell for support for a client's laptop .

    I was trying to tell the support rep that the client lived at 25 Indigo Drive.

    I spent 15 minutes explaining to the support rep that "Indigo" was not the state.

    You tell me how that's possible. :(

      Hard to say. However, that is the area where the jizz drips off
      her sweet visage after I've given her a heavy duty facial.

      Hard to say. However, that is the area where the jizz falls. You know, when
      it drips off her sweet visage after I've given her a heavy duty facial.

    hey fags. why was that offtopic? answer: it wasn't. the best way to mod something "unfunny" is to NOT mod it up "Funny"... amazing, who would have thought of that? screw you whoever modded that down. i hate you.

  7. what happens to the splooge? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    when you get ass plowed, what happens to the splooge. do you crap it out? does your buddy suck it out? i was wondering, since i was thinking about taking it up the hershey highway, and figured that it has to go somewhere. i mean, i don't want it ruining a perfectly good pair of drawls. being a potential rear admiral, after a few ass reams, does your shit leak? i mean, after a while, your asshole has to get stretched from all the ass bandits, and sometimes, you gotta take a dump, and have to squeeze it back. can you still do that? or do you have to wear a plug? and how much lube do you need? and when your sucking, not fucking, what does the giz taste like?

    I've lived both places and I can say without a doubt that the L.A. Times is an order of magnitude better than the S.F. Chronicle. I haven't read the San Jose Mercury News much, but I doubt it's as good as the L.A. Times. I know that the Oakland Tribune blows too since I've read it on occasion.

    The only problem I have with the Times is sometimes they focus too much on Hollywood and never really examine it with an objective eye. Oh and they don't really give much voice to the people who are for fair use instead of siding with the media content producers, but that goes along with my other point. Other than that it's great!
