I think to some degree everyone is biased. Even if you say you don't care about age there's still some part of your mind that accounts for that when 'you' decide you like someone or not, whether that's negatively or positively.
Affirmative action isn't the solution either, because that's just introducing more bias into the equation. More discrimination cannot beget less discrimination in this case.

I have hired programmers in cities that aren't as flush with talent (Dallas, for one example), and make no mistake: age made absolutely no difference. We just wanted good programmers. I think we'll see more of that in the US over the next few years, too.
