Vivek Wadhwa on Techcrunch:

But I do know one thing for sure: it isn’t the big companies that create the jobs or the revolutionary technology innovations: it is startups. So if we need to pick sides, I vote for the startups.

And I do agree. But in the rest of the world (developing countries, Europe, and specially low R&D investors like Spain) the big companies, most of them US-based, are the ones supporting jobs in the IT sector. Not that I like it but as of today, it is a fact of life.
