On: Apple’s New Mac Pro to Be Made in Texas

[espeed]

It's not just Apple, and it's not just Austin. Tech is moving to Texas en masse. There's several reasons why, and this is just the beginning...

~> Amazon just announced it's now adding 1400 tech jobs in Austin (600 more in addition to the 800 it announced already).

~> Ericsson is adding 400 tech jobs and is opening its first 5G factor in Dallas.

~> Google is building a 375-acre data center campus in Midlothian, Texas ("one of the largest such projects in the country").

But is any part of that tech moving to Houston?

Part of it may be moving away from the coast. Until we can find a way to stop hurricanes, likely not.
