Silicon Valley Making Fun Of Houston
from the ha-ha dept
It's a bit strange to see the San Jose Mercury News - the newspaper of choice in Silicon Valley, have a whole story about the city of Houston. The main focus is about how Houston may be hurt once Silicon Valley's HP buys out Houston's Compaq. Coming from a Silicon Valley newspaper it sounds as though we're pitying those poor Houston-ites who couldn't survive a Silicon Valley takeover.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
