In another 5 years they'll finally get around to producing a show about Silicon Valley now.

About how the silicon became fabless and offshored. About how Indians took over Koreatown, how all the buildings along the 101 stretch went up then empty.

About how the pioneers settled down while the goldrushers came in wanting a piece in San Francisco even though the 49ers came down to Santa Clara. About how the old campuses went away and got replaced by higher density condos since no one could afford houses.

About how there were the rich and the other half scrambled. About what happens in the middle of the night in those Sunnyvale corporate parks.

About how it's just really bitter and sweet as home.

Your office park sounds much more interesting than mine (Menlo). After 9 PM it's crickets all the way down.

I tried in vain to figure out what time of day this will be airing on the West Coast, since I'm at the office and can't check the show schedule. Hopefully I can get home early enough to record a re-run :(.

It's 8pm on KQED (the PBS station here in Silicon Valley).

You can always steal it from thepiratebay/megaconz

I dont see how this is stealing - PBS is funded by our tax dollars and owned by the public

Which is why, as thefreeman points out above, its legitimately available online for free.
