Another problem is that there is no "Category Killer" company which can incubate tech focused entrepreneurs like there is in SV. In SV there are companies liek Paypal, Google, Facebook, Yahoo, etc. who attract top engineering talent. Had there been a category killer company produced in Socal I think there'd be a much different tech landscape.

I don't know about Paypal and Facebook, but interestingly enough, both Google and Yahoo have/had fair-sized offices in Southern California, though Yahoo's has gone the way of all Yahoo.
