"Geography is Destiny."

Whether the world is round or flat, spikey or smooth, it seems that place continues to matter. The New York Times reports on the particular pull - and power - of Silicon Valley: "IN our celebrity-studded world, where we make a cult of genius and individual achievement, the mind rebels at the notion that geography trumps personality. Yet the inescapable lesson of the iPod, Google, eBay, Netflix and Silicon Valley in general is that where you live often trumps who you are....In short, 'geography matters'.... Give birth to an information-technology idea in Silicon Valley and the chances of success seem vastly higher than when it is done in another ZIP code."
