Bangalore Beats Silicon Valley
An anonymous reader writes "The inevitable has happened. Bangalore, which grew under the shadow of America 's Silicon Valley over the last two decades, has finally overtaken its parent. Today, Bangalore stands ahead of Bay Area, San Francisco and California, with a lead of 20,000 techies, while employing a total number of 1.5 lakh engineers."

Why don't you go to your pro-sadaam/anti-war protest and leave us alone.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

Allow me to clear up a misunderstanding about housing costs in Silicon Valley. You generally would learn this in Econ 101, but most people slept through it anyway, so here's a refresher:
When environmental and subsidized housing zealots push through ridiculous development restrictions legislation, scarcity ensues, and scarcity causes prices to rise, expecially in a place where demand is very high.
Bangalore doesn't have rich white liberals demanding that the spotted california shit-eating sucker fish be "protected" by cordoning off hundreds of thousands of acres of perfectly good land. Bangalore doesn't have rich white liberals demanding that all tenants have a "right" to a giant lawn. Bangalore doesn't have rich white liberals screaming for price controls for the poor.
You have once again successfully screwed your fellow citizen. I commend you!
so when everyone in the western world is unemployed, who's going to buy the shit that all these third world fucks crank out?
