[QUOTE=woolio1;43973297]Nashville! That'll make two cities with independent, 1Gbps ISPs!
Chattanooga runs their own fiber service. Now, if only it'd come to Knoxville.[/QUOTE]
I know that feel. I live in the Knoxville area. I'd kill for something like Google Fiber.
tampa pls
Oh fuck yeah San Jose is on that list. This is a great day.
I wonder why Mt. View isn't there since Google is based in Mt. View
Hell yeah, Nashville.

It'd better be called the Chattanooga Tube Tube.
Google, Walkersville Maryland pls
nova scotia please. Our province is probably only twice the size of those cities
Searching for "Google fiber" auto-completes to "Google fiber Dallas"
The internet has spoken, 3 people in this thread want it in Dallas
Shit Google get on it
ITT: Bring google fiber here pls my city is more important than the rest.
I can't wait for google to just dominate the world and free me from the curse of having 0.8mb/s download speed. And I even pay 14€/a month for that
I live literally 5 minutes from a city on that list, however I'm in a different state. PLEEEAAASE GOOGLE. BRING YOUR GOODIES TO WASHINGTON

I don't want to move to Portland, but google fiber might be worth it.

At least when they chose Austin it made sense cause of Hipsters.
With San Antinio I guess they remembered the Alamo.
Start at Atlanta please I'd like to actually be able do to shit
Chicago any time soon?
I was upset because the page that had the plans for cities surrounding Kansas City disappeared, then I discovered that they apparently finished expanding to those cities. I hope they're going to branch out just a tad further... It's so close, I can almost taste it.
Woop woop. Hopefully it moves to San Antonio soon so I can fire Time Warner Cable.
Damnit, what the fuck Google? What's wrong with Denver? Comcrap (TWC) sucks, someone has to overthrow the malicious king already.

I know UTK has decent internet, if my two second download of Super Hexagon today means anything.
Seriously, that's 15MB/s. Over public WIFI. That's impressive.
Google is on the path to become the first true MegaCorp. Not just a monopolistic pile of shit, but something truly worthy of the distinction. They have a massive hold on the internal side of the net, and they're branching into improving the infrastructure while also buying up companies involved with robotics and biotechnologies. They're talking about things like reaching Singularity and achieving human immortality within the next 30 years. And I actually believe they may be able to do it at the rate they're going.

I would agree, if every 100+ year-old Japanese company didn't beat them to that.
Seriously, you've got Sony, Mitsubishi, even Honda's branched out into portable generators and consumer appliances. The idea of a company that does everything isn't exactly new, we just can't do them here because of flawed antitrust regulations that stifle competition and empire-building. Simultaneously.
(Also, I quite like my mortality. Would be cool to have a copy of my consciousness backed up somewhere, though, so my great-grandchildren could get an idea of what I was like.)

I like the notion of living a good long time. I'll need it to get through my Steam library.
I hope it expands to other Major Areas.

To be entirely fair, biological immortality's the target to aim for. You can't exactly transfer your consciousness, a la Singularity. You can copy it and delete the original, but you would die and your cloned consciousness would go on living. You are your brain, after all.
A singularity with consciousness upload would be the complete suicide of the Human race, to be replaced by a reasonable facsimile of virtual humanity. That said, it could be a cool thing for end-of-life patients, to have their brain scanned before they passed so their family could still interact with that person... In a sense, at least.
i live 20 mins away from san jose but it sucks there
