Massachusetts Deemed Most Tech-Savvy State, Beating California
Massholes. They think they're the best at everything. And oh, wait -- they are! The Smartest State has lots of "best" titles, between the Red Sox, Harvard, and now (again), technology.
Since 2002, the Santa-Monica-based Milken institute has been releasing reports on the technological state of affairs. That is, the institute ranks states based on criteria like tech-savviness of workers, commitment to tech growth, and economic gain from technology and science.
And Ol' Ivy, Massachusetts, always wins! Usually California, home to Silicon Valley and silicone boobs, comes in second, but not this year! The state slipped to an embarassing fourth place in the rankings, ceding its spot to Maryland and Colorado (ouch!). Mississippi came in last, predictably, but still wins for obesity.
We still love you, California. Don't blame yourself --this is probably Spielberg's fault. [Source: USA Today]

Sure, if you like wildfires, smog, gang-related shootings, paparazzi, plastic celebrities, faux sports fans, and clogged highways, California is better than Massachusetts.
If you like healthcare, biotech, higher education, die-hard sports fans (and winning teams), and tech-savy individuals, Massachusetts is better than California.
