Comcast rejected by small town - residents vote for municipal fiber instead.
Incoming lawsuit.
This vote was originally set and decided to build municipal fiber back in 2015, Comcast is the one who re-proposed to the town and the town refused to get hitched.
Long drawn out proposal there.

Yep and Comcast is going to sure the municipality for some reason or another and block the roll-out for another 3-5 years.

Intel finally moves past Skylake with Sunny Cove architecture, coming 2019
Finally, a move away from just bundling more cores together.
In 2019, Intel will release Core and Xeon chips built around a new architecture: the chips will add a bunch of new instructions to accelerate certain popular workloads such as cryptography and compression, with the company demonstrating 75-percent improvement in compression performance relative to prior-generation parts.

My hometown did this almost decade ago. It was Charter (Spectrum) instead of Comcast.

Intel introduces Foveros: 3D die stacking for more than just memory
Technology allows tight integration of high performance and low power processes.
In 2019, Intel is going to ship chips using a new 3D stacking technology the company is calling Foveros. Foveros allows complex logic dies to be stacked upon one another, providing a much greater ability to mix and match processor components with optimal manufacturing processes

New 17-inch LG Gram laptop weighs 2.9 pounds, has nearly 20-hour battery life
LG will show off all new Gram laptops at CES in January.
The mammoth 17-inch laptop appears to take most of its design from the original LG Gram, which Ars reviewed last year. It looks like a standard ultrabook, with a nearly edge-to-edge display and a slightly larger chin bezel. LG claims to have put a 17-inch display in a 15.6-inch chassis, but it's hard to tell how well that statement holds up through images alone.

Wow, that's a long battery life. I need one of those!

That is also super light for a 17"

@mlnews What OS? Hoping for ChromeOS, but from the pictures, it is looking like another Win10 box. Doesn't say anything in the description, from what I scanned.

Yeah, pictures show W10.

@wrx7m I don't know for sure, but I would be willing to bet that they can get a lot more battery time out of that 20 hours just by putting on ChromeOS.

It's a PC... 8th-gen Intel processors, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 512GB SSD.
So any OS for PC that you want to install.

Not likely. If that were true, Linux would get you a lot more battery life. ChromeOS does that by running on low power hardware, often ARM based, and having extreme vertical integration with the hardware.

Google+ bug exposes non-public profile data for 52 million users
Goof let developers see names, email addresses, and more, even when set to be nonpublic.
Two months after disclosing an error that exposed the private profile data of almost 500,000 Google+ users, Google on Monday revealed a new leak that affects more than 52 million people. The programming interface bug allowed developers to access names, ages, email addresses, occupations, and a wealth of other personal details even when they were set to be nonpublic.

Amazon Web Services aims to colonize your network with Outpost
Amazon aims to sink itself deeper into enterprises with new tools.
Amazon Outposts, a service scheduled to become available in the second half of 2019, will allow customers to provision physical racks of Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers and have them shipped to their own data centers. The racks will be configured with the same servers that Amazon runs in its AWS data centers; once installed, the racks will connect back to the AWS mothership over the Internet and then can be configured with storage services and virtual machines through Amazon's AWS Management Console. And just as with services hosted in Amazon's own data centers, customers won't own these racks—they'll rent them. The costs and connectivity requirements associated with Outpost have yet to be determined.

Samsung teases new Notebook 9 Pen with 15-hour battery life before CES 2019
The 13- and 15-inch convertibles also sport a familiar blue-and-gold color scheme.
Samsung announced two new versions of the Notebook 9 Pen—a 13-inch and a 15-inch model—that it will show off at CES in January and release sometime in 2019. At first glance, not much seems to have changed in the new convertibles, but upon closer inspection, Samsung has made some changes that will (hopefully) make the new devices worth their inevitably high price tags.
