What's funny about the article is that it /doesn't/ blast the Triangle,
just RTP. But the impression given is that RTP (the region) is the same
as RTP (the park). Note that it says that:

"To get to the real action, you have to go outside of
the park, to the various pockets of small technology companies
scattered about the outskirts of the three small cities."

There's some other stuff in the article that is badly misleading, like
Goodnight saying that SAS will never go public (what's the latest on
this, anyway? I thought they were preparing for an IPO last year...)
but for the most part, I think it nails the area pretty well.
