Silicon Valley Simple All the change bursting from our valley floor demanded a new approach to our tenth annual Silicon Valley guide. We've realized that telling readers where to go and whom to call simply is not enough any more. In honor of our tangled mess of modern life, we've decided to get downright utilitarian. This year, we're spilling the beans on the most treasured insider dope of all: how to get things done. We've loaded our guide with plenty of advice and helpful hints on how to make the wheels of life spin a little more easily. Learn how to get a raise, avoid an audit and say "goodbye" to that 45-minute commute. So sit back, relax and absorb. Streamlined Living: Pare down and live simply. Put Up Yer Dukes: Don't get mad, get even. Cruising: Transit made simple. Soul Relief: Free your inner self. Get in on the Gold Rush: Grab a fistful of cash and join the party. Domestic Bliss: Make your house into a home.
