It's nurture, not nature. G. Pascal Zachary turns in a real yawner to the New York Times regarding the role of geography in innovation. Turns out Silicon Valley dominates technology innovation ... but that domination is not permanently assured!

No telling, but just end the article with a quote from a British academic asking the same question, and you're done. Even Om Malik is puzzled.
