This culture war lacks rampant arrests, bursts of violence or national media coverage, but the dissent of anti-gentrification groups over income and housing is creating a stir just the same here.
For the third time in about a month, protesters on Tuesday blocked tech buses from Google and Facebook carrying workers out of the city. A few dozen protesters, chanting "Stop evictions," surrounded the buses and prevented them from moving. Some plastered a sign to one of the coaches, in a Google-type font, that read "Gentrification and Eviction Technologies."
Demonstrators stood outside the Berkeley home of a Google engineer on Wednesday to object to the company's work on military robots.

The stock has been moving higher in recent years and is now trading near highs for the year. Over the last four quarters, earnings have been rising while revenues have been decreasing, which has produced mixed feelings among investors about recent earnings announcements.

Together, they have a better chance of naming their price when the big boys eventually come knocking.
