CenturyLink installed FTTH here a few days ago. When I called Comcast to cancel, it sounded like they intended to put up a fight until I mentioned the word "gigabit." Immediately t…

Great Scott!

Yeah, that's what I thought this was at first. Naming it the same as an existing project with the same purpose is negligent at best.

Child's play, really.

I see it as two separate concerns. The first time around, folks criticized the result of the "open" nature of the platform (i.e. fragmentation). Now, these folks are criticizing th…

The race is on now between Apple and Google! Who will be the first to break ground on their respective paragons of green corporate campuses? I am giddy with anticipation!
