Silicon Valley - The Geeks Are Back In Charge?

securitas writes "The New York Times' Steve Lohr reports on a fundamental shift taking place in Silicon Valley in the post-dotcom era: the geeks are back in charge. New start-ups and companies that survived the bubble 'are based on innovation and are run by people with deep technical skills.' These companies have real technology and a solid technical base that have historically been the bedrock of Silicon Valley - something that was temporarily forgotten during the dotcom bubble. Profiled companies include Tellme Networks (speech recognition), InterTrust (DRM - digital rights management), VMware (virtual machines) and Scalix (Linux e-mail servers)."

Is Carly going away? by IM6100 · 2003-10-26 02:43 · Score: 4, Funny

Does this mean Carly will move back in with her mother at the trailer park?

Will the good stuff get re-branded back to Hewlett-Packard and the bad product lines get sold to Dell?

A geek can dream, can't he?
