About this place:

If you're looking for Silicon Valley on a map, you won't find it. Silicon Valley is a nickname -- similar to "The Big Apple" or Chicago's "Windy City." Originally a reference to the Bay Area's silicon chip makers, the term now refers to high-tech businesses throughout Northern California's Santa Clara Valley and adjacent communities.
