Frankly, it is extremely boring to read articles like this. The heading "Why ABC innovation has stalled" itself sounds quite artificial. Here is how innovation seems unfolding itself lately (Both in Silicon valley and outside of it): Early stages of 3D printing, cars that drive themselves, drones that are cheap and interesting, gestures which lend themselves to web, voice processing and response at higher level, interesting touch surfaces where the buttons grow out of the screen depending on software interface, banking and virtual currency to kick ass of the arcane and so on ... Here is (probably) the problem of tech blogs apparently. You guys have gone too close to investor community, or have started believing in the hype machine too much. Open your eyes and report on start-ups outside of 'likes' and 'tweets' and 'pluses' (Not that those are not news). Open your eyes, probably.

Down-vote Pandodaily? That's surprising.

  No, I down-voted you. The elephant in the room for the valley is that nothing is happening. Randomly select a startup from AngelList and tell me what you think of it. Is it creating something innovative or is it a new application for existing technology? And now we've exhausted permutations for social/sharing/tweet/feeds. It's old. Yes interesting research areas exist. They always have. But what we're talking about here is the proportion of those, especially in the valley, to what the average startup is working on.

    > Yes interesting areas exist. They always have. Okay. So now search for start-ups involved around those interesting areas. Don't just down-vote generally on an article like this which borders on flame-bait. On the other hand, I also accept your down-vote (it is your karma ultimately, not mine) but that doesn't change a thing. According to me it's just plain stupid to claim that innovation has stalled because one is unable to figure out 5 awesome start-ups from a crowd of 50,000 wannabes. Period.
