Maybe the most obnoxious thing I've read this week:

"Katie Anderson, a lanky blond childhood friend of Jesse's, says that growing up in a famous, wealthy family was no big deal for Jesse. "That's the thing about growing up in Silicon Valley. No one's famous and no one's rich . . . because everyone's famous and everyone's rich," says Anderson. "So no one realizes, Oh, not everyone celebrates ski week?"

Like, gag me with a spoon.

What's wrong with that statement? Seems about right to me... now can you please pass me the Polaner All-Fruit?

It's the nauseating LA-ificiation of Silicon Valley. Yes everyone may be rich (relatively speaking) but the great thing about SV is no one acts rich and certainly no one feels famous. This is the tradition of the valley as demonstrated by Steve Jobs. There are plenty of exceptions but think back to the article that said in SV money represents success but not flashy bullshit possessions.
