"Google has officially invited 34 cities in nine metro areas to become the next batch of the Google Fiber rollout.

Google said it 'genuinely would like to build in all of these cities,' but that the complexities of deploying networks may not allow it. 'During this process, we will work with each city to map out in detail what it would look like to build a new fiber-optic network there,' Google said. 'The most important part of this teamwork will be identifying what obstacles might pop up during network construction — and then working together to find the smoothest path around those obstacles. Some might be easy, some might take some creative thinking or a few months to iron out, and in some cases there might be such local complexities that we decide it's not the right time to build Google Fiber there.'"

  This is nothing but pandering and astroturfing for Google. This is disgusting.

  Pandering?
  How about: A good opportunity to discuss google's plans to knee existing isps in the fork ..?

  How is it astroturfing?

  More? Was there a first definitive Soyvertisement?

  So far as I can see this is News

    Whooosh?

    (I mean, isn't it obvious from a site that doesn't run advertisments?
    Or... do you have a bit of nostalgia and decided to mime feeding the trolls, just for the sake of experiencing the feeling of the good old days?)

      oh come on, is it really real unless you get into an argument with a troll :-)

      Until this popped up I was concerned that we may have lost the culture, the true essence that was the slashdot of old, good and bad.

      Now, shush, let the troll rant :P

  I'd mod this funny/nostalgic/insightful without blicking... if I wouldn't have posted.
  Until there isn't a sprinkle of good (very bad.. that is) trolls in the mixture, the dish doesn't have quite the same taste like the /. (be it diced or not)
