this article is dumb, but what do you expect from usa today? i work and live in the detroit area, and have lived here most of my life (also lived in silicon valley, fwiw). there's no doubt there's some great innovation being done on the west coast, and these local guys could use a kick in the pants - a literal kick in the pants (i mean i would love to kick some of them...i worked for some of these pricks). but it takes a good deal more than some infotainment radios, and interesting r&d project to displace a major sector of the economy. it's much harder than you think. as the article already points out -- manufacturing is long gone. competition is good -- viva competition.
