Chicago Slammed For Lack of Tech Talent By Groupon CEO

The Chicago Tribune reports on Groupon CEO Andrew Mason:
"My biggest mistake was waiting to open an office in Silicon Valley," he told technology blogger Kara Swisher during an interview at the AllThingsD conference in California last week, according to a live blog of his remarks. "Chicago is a great town, but it doesn't have the depth of talent that you guys have."
Ouch.
