Kansas City gets a second crack at signing up for Google Fiber

Add as a preferred source on Google

Not only is Kansas City home to awesome barbecue and the resurgent Kansas City Chiefs (who have played a weak schedule, but that’s another story), but those lucky ducks are getting a second chance to sign up for Google Fiber. Google made the announcement via an official blog post by Rachel Hack, Google’s Kansas City Community Manager. 

If you missed out the first time around, you can sign up for Google Fiber service starting today, assuming you live in Kansas City, Central Kansas City, or one of 180 “fiberhoods” that are slated to get the service. You can sign up for Google Fiber here.

Google says that if you sign up “over the next month,” service should be up, running and available by Spring of next year. What’s more, if you sign up between today and December 22, you’ll get a free Nexus 7 tablet, which will be available for you to pick up immediately from Google Fiber Space.

Here’s some more good news for Kansas City-ites. If you live in Kansas City, North, South Kansas City, Mo, Gladstone, Grandview and Raytown, you’ll be able to sign up for Google Fiber starting in March 2014. Google will make additional announcements sometime early next year.

In the meantime, Google will be hitting up Google+ and Facebook on November 26 at 3 p.m. Central time to answer people’s questions pertaining to Google Fiber sign-ups. You can check out Google Fiber’s pricing plans here.

Whether you like it or not, it's "clear" that Apple is not giving up on Liquid Glass. It is just trying to make it a little less… blindingly futuristic on Macs.

After the mixed reception to macOS Tahoe’s translucent interface, Apple is reportedly preparing a softer, cleaner version of the design language for macOS 27. But if anyone was expecting a dramatic rollback, that is apparently not happening.

Intel’s comeback has become one of the market’s biggest surprises. Its stock has risen nearly 490% over the past year, pushing the company back into record territory and reviving confidence in a chipmaker many had written off.
