Study Says Massachusetts Best State For Technology

Anonymous Coward writes "The Milken Institute (site is cnn/msnbc/wapo dotted it seems) has released a study claiming MA is the best state for technology while Texas has dropped to 26th. I'm curious on everyone's thoughts on this. It seems to me Arizona and Austin are most attractive because of the low cost of living and lots of open space. I just don't see (in my job hunting) very many start-up or expansion in the states they list at the top. Lots more at Google News." Reader footh adds a link to a PDF of the results.

You almost forgot :
They suck on the freeway, worst damn drivers I have ever seen.
Their communist government proudly denies you the right to own a firearm or protect your home.
They categorize white people - it isn't like other parts of the country where white people are white people ... no, they gotta label you Jew or Irish or Italian or Greek or French or something.
Insane taxes.
Double plus insane real estate prices ... $385k for a 780 square foot 'condo' that consists of two rooms and a convertable couch / bed built in 1870?
Their 'beach' consists of a rocky shoreline that ends up in nasty polluted water a few degrees above freezing.
No two roads in the entire state are parallel, they must have put down roads before the straight line was invented.

I could probably go on, but I won't.
