As of yesterday, Internet connectivity in the city is allegedly one-gigabit-per-second, whether upload or download. The city says that this is, on average, 250 times faster than the connectivity in any other U.S. city. Such connectivity will come at a price, though; the power company will be providing the connection, and will set customers back $350 a month.

Although the price point will cause appeal to be mostly in the business arena, it is available to private consumers, as well. If you’ve got the money, honey, they’ve got your disease, if your “disease” is fast, fast, fast speed, and if their claims are accurate.

One possibly telling sign: the city’s mayor won’t even order the service.

Bloglines made keeping up with blog feeds easier by sending “feeds” to subscribers, who would sign up for updates from the blogs that interested them most, and which used the RSS protocol, a system that makes reading posts from numerous blogs all in one place a breeze.

All is not lost if you wish to continue keeping up with your blogs via RSS: you have until the first of the month to export your feeds, and then import them to another service such as Google’s Reader service.

The addition of the Kindles makes Best Buy the only electronics chain to carry each and every one of the popular e-readers, which will no doubt be a boon for them on Black Friday.

Showing their genius, Best Buy will display the e-readers on endcaps, which will let customers make an informed decision by laying out all of the e-readers side-by-side.

UberTwitter, another popular client, came in at just 2%, whereas Twitter for BlackBerry grabbed 7%. Twitter’s website remains the absolute dominant choice, accounting for 78% of tweets, and iPhone’s Twitter app accounts for 8%, with tweeting by SMS grabbing the same number.

The Twitter for BlackBerry app runs smoothly, and makes it easy to tweet, but unlike UberTwitter, the current version does not support multiple accounts. If one wants to tweet from another account, they have to log out, log in to that account, and then log back into the original account.

Hopefully, this oversight will be fixed in a future upgrade. Even with this limitation, the numbers seem to indicate that UberTwitter has some work to do if it wants to be the undisputed #1 Twitter app for BlackBerry users.

Under pressure from law enforcement, that section went away, only to be replaced by “adult” services. The section was even to the untrained eye a thinly veiled place for prostitutes to advertise their..er…services. Sure, they’re called “escorts,” but everyone knew. “Everyone,” it seems, includes law enforcement agencies and Attorneys General from all over the country.

Once again bowing to the pressure, Craigslist this weekend eliminated the adult section, and replaced the listing’s position with a “censored” banner. There were many concerns posed by multiple parties, including child sex trafficking, and safety issues, evidenced by the murder of a woman who advertised on Craigslist.

Ads for these services still exist, most notably on the site Backpage, but now that law enforcement is taking a closer look, the “merchants” may choose to peddle their “wares” somewhere else.

You can mark messages as being important or not important, and based on that, Gmail will “learn” your habits, and move messages into the Priority Inbox queue. Of course, you can still use the filter feature to automatically flag certain messages as being important.

This sounds like a handy feature, and can help people tell what messages are important at a glance. Try it out today, and see what you think!

The patents were not as the result of his own inventions, but they came through work done by Interval Research, a software lab that Allen co-founded. A spokesman for the company says the lawsuit was necessary in order to protect their interests. No representatives for the companies involved were available for comment.

Wozniak is the first Apple executive to appear on the show, but not the first techie. That honor apparently goes to Wil Wheaton, perhaps best known for his role as Wesley Crusher on “Star Trek: The Next Generation”.

The airdate for Wozniak’s episode is not known yet, nor is it known what character he’s playing. It will, however, be interesting to see how they handle the fact that one of the show’s characters uses Windows, as alluded to in a previous episode.

Testing for the new feature began two months ago, and it is now available to most users, if not everyone. The feature is somewhat similar to the “mutual friends” feature on Facebook, and to see this new feature, simply go to another user’s profile, and you will see the “You Both Follow” feature in the sidebar.

There is also a “view all” link, which will allow you to see the full list of people that you both follow. This could be a valuable feature for those looking to find common ground with those they follow, or simply just for the fun of it. Are you using the new feature?

The filing alleges, among other things, that Dell executives conspired to make the problem seem less severe than it really was to shareholders and customers following complaints surrounding the OptiPlex line of computers. Advanced Internet Technologies is suing over what it says is damages following the failure of 2,000 OptiPlex computers that AIT leased to its end customers.

AIT claims it’s lost around $38 million because of the computers’ failure, and the lawsuit has been brewing for several years now. The filing further alleges that Dell has established a pattern of refusing to provide documents, but Dell says that it will soon be filing a response, and that it takes its obligation to provide discovery seriously.
