Love it. "We shall fight them on the beaches..." ;-)
But seriously, if we're going to bend over for every piece of
geography with a larger GDP - what hope does the Australian tech
community have? I feel a Midnight Oil song coming on.

Wow, someone had to open this can of worms hey. Ok, so be it. I have
personally never liked the idea of Silicon "anything" other than Silicon
Valley (for being the original). And that's despite all the obvious
benefits of immediate recognition. That being said, I +1 Elias and +1 Avis.

A few places in different continents calling themselves by the same name
isn't really that big a deal. Some perspective people. Silicon Beach is
what it is & it seems like a whole lot of hassle to try and rebrand, I
don't see any reason for it to change. Oh an colony is just nasty. Just my

Members of the reality-based community might suggest that it probably
doesn't matter if more than 1 place calls itself Silicon Beach (and it
certainly doesn't matter enough to change a bunch of group and domain
names).
However, if I had to propose an alternate name...based on the enthusiastic
