Hmmm ... Is San Jose in Silicon Valley? I've always thought San Jose was a bit out of the way. I think of Silicon Valley as from San Francisco down to about Mountain View. Once you hit Sunnyvale, I don't really think you're in the valley anymore.
"The Valley" being defined as the tech hub where founders, hackers, entrepreneurs, investors, etc congregate. There's tons of stuff from Mountain View and north, but I don't think Sunnyvale and south (including San Jose) has nearly as strong a scene.
the Silicon Valley is literally the valley that San Jose sits smack dab in the middle of. Traditionally this was the ground zero of the tech industry. I would say its still where most of the tech office space is in the area, but higher profile companies these days are further north.
