Are firms like google and amazon opening offices in Boston? Yeah, definitely. We have Google, Microsoft, IBM, I'm somewhat sure we have others. Oracle is still here after Sun+other acquisitions. There's definitely a chunk of people who want to stay and there's MIT/Harvard/+60 more colleges/universities churning out grads, so Boston is a great satellite-office place. It's just that it does not have any recent multi-billion homegrown high tech cos. iRobot might make it. EMC/vmWare is not-so-new example. Michael Stonebraker started a bunch of database companies - most have been acquired though.
