> PARC still exists, but Google advanced technology projects is probably the closest. Neither of these is that close to the old Xerox PARC since they tent to focus on near term commercializable projects.
While I can see how Google is an engine of scientific progress, Silicon Valley is bigger than Google. Stanford deserves a lot of credit.
Without diving into "what makes Silicon Valley Silicon Valley," I think I should point out that Stanford has consistently produced disruptions since at least Xerox PARC's founding.
(Obligatory: I have only ever visited Stanford, long after graduating from a different university.)
