Speaking at Stanford University’s 2013 commencement, he quipped, “I believe that more and more Stanford graduates will find themselves moving to Silicon Alley, not only because we’re the hottest new tech scene in the country, but also because there’s more to do on a Friday night than go to the Pizza Hut in Sunnyvale. And you may even be able to find a date with a girl whose name is not Siri” (the digital personal assistant installed on Apple’s handheld devices).
纽约市前市长布隆伯格（Michael Bloomberg）对城市生活的吸引力做了也许是最言简意赅的概括。在2013年斯坦福大学毕业典礼上，布隆伯格戏谑道：“我相信越来越多的斯坦福毕业生会来到硅巷，不但是因为我们有美国最热门的新技术，也是因为这里的周五夜生活比桑尼维尔（Sunnyvale）的必胜客丰富得多。而你们也可以找到约会的妹子，而且不是Siri哟。”（Siri是苹果手持设备内置的数字个人助理。）
