big announcement coming soon

news to me, but not new news, the City of Austin has joined umpteen other cities nationwide in submitting a bid to be google's test city for "google fiber," which promises to bring Internet connections more than 100 times faster than the current norm in the US of A.

impossible to imagine 100 times faster ... google would have to anticipate my desires and bring up web sites before I even realized I wanted them. will computers have to have brain scanners attached to activate this technology?

seems google intended to announce the chosen city by the end of 2010, but no word as yet so we all wait with baited breath for the (presumably?) pending announcement

attn google:
choose austin, texas
(all the cool kids do)
