Kudos to Google. They’ve created Android, Gmail, redefined the cloud, conquered the search engines, will have the Chrome OS, built Chrome the web browser, yesterday Buzz, and now? Google’s planning to offer an “experimental” ISP broadband service. Un-bel-iev-able. This plan is to offer Internet browsing speeds of up to 1GB per second, being 20 times faster than all of the other ISP clowns in the room. On its blog Google says:
We’re planning to build and test ultra high-speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the United States. We’ll deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. We plan to offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people
Comcast, Verizon and AT&T? They must be joyful. Putting this deathblow aside, Google plans for the service to be deployed to 50,000 homes, and up to 500,000. Price? “Competitive” Google says. They’re doing it on a trial basis and will push forward things like being more open-source. Now just imagine: Google could create an Android home phone that could make call using Wi-Fi — the possibilities are endless! Video after the jump.
When ASUS unveiled the G73 at CES, they didn’t talk much; no pricing or release date. But now, you can pick up this 8-pound beast for $1449,99 on Newegg. What do you get for your 1500 bucks you say? A17.3-inch 1920 x 1080 display, a Core i7 720QM processor, an 8GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive, some tasty ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 graphics, and a DVD burner, among other standard features, all in an angular-shaped laptop. Not bad. [Via 
You read that correctly. Opera says that they will reveal Opera Mini for the iPhone next week at Mobile World Congress. Let’s absorb that for a minute: Opera Mini on the iPhone. Either Opera has completely lost its mind or Apple has lost all control of the App Store.
Google Buzz. That’s the name of the new built-in Gmail service from Google. Buzz is used on a computer, and basically combines RSS with social networking at
