Here’s an interesting piece of news: 3Com, once Palm’s parent company and still a major stake holder, is moving from Silicon Valley to Massachusetts. Given that 3Com has been one of the anchor companies in the Bay Area, this is a pretty big break from tradition (and will likely dump more bodies in the street). According to the Merc, two years ago, 3Com employed about 12,000 worldwide and 3,400 in Santa Clara. 3Com currently has about 3,900 employees worldwide and about 550 in Santa Clara. That’s a sad “yowzah” in anyone’s book.
