Personally, I expect they'll pick a US city east of the Mississippi, in the >3 million range. It has to have a good airport and a good large university nearby. I'd love to see them go to Detroit, but I predict they'll take a city that's already on the cusp and push it into superstardom. Philly or Pittsburgh. Maybe Atlanta.

Rumor here is that the Research Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) area is high on the list. 2.2 million CSA and growing fast, major research universities (Duke, UNC, NC State), one of the most educated places (% degree holders and % of post-grad degrees), good interstates and international airport with several Europe non-stops, other major tech firms here (Lenovo, Citrix, SAS, Cisco, Red Hat, etc.)
