What a DECEPTIVE HEADLINE! Makes you think jobs are coming!
Who’s next?
Silicon Valley giants have been shopping for acquisitions in Massachusetts, buying and partnering with key companies from this state’s much-vaunted technology industry. As businesses long known for their local roots join with or are absorbed by ventures from California, the question becomes: What signature companies are left, and are they targets for takeovers?

And HOW MANY JOBS are they taking with them?
