    Refaving from Mohit

    Quoted: This is a map of companies in Seattle that do software work. It is not limited to companies headquartered in Seattle, but includes any company with a development office in the area. I've tried to keep companies off the map that are out of business or not yet viable, but please let me know if there is something that needs to be added, removed or edited.

    Amazon.com: Future Hype : The Myths of Technology Change: Books: Bob Seidensticker

    I heard about this book straight from the author, who I met a while back (in a context unrelated to the subject of the book). It sounds interesting.

    Quoted: Conventional wisdom says that technology is the greatest new growth frontier, coupling infinite potential with an ever-growing number of faster, more efficient, and more reliable products and instruments. According to this view, we live in an unprecedented golden era of technological expansion. Future Hype argues the opposite. Author Bob Seidensticker, who has an intimate understanding of technology on professional, theoretical, and academic levels, asserts that today’s technological achievements are neither fast nor progressive.
