  • Austin-based Google campus

      Google and the City of Austin just sent out a slew of invitations to an event next week, but declined to provide details on what will be announced.

      While city officials are staying quiet, multiple sources tell VentureBeat that the announcement could involve expanding Google’s gigabit broadband Internet service Google Fiber to Austin. Alternately, the city could announce plans for a new Austin-based Google campus, or even some partnership to involve the city with a new Google service. Obviously, we don’t know what the announcement will entail, but its safe to say that it’ll be of interest to a broad section of the local community.

      Here’s the invitation itself:

      On Tuesday, April 9, at 11 a.m., the City of Austin and Google will make a very important announcement that will have a positive impact on Austinites and the future of the city. We anticipate more than 100 community leaders and elected officials to be in attendance to celebrate this announcement. The event invitation is attached for your convenience. Although we cannot share the details of the announcement with you in advance, we know readers will want to learn more, so we encourage you to join us on Tuesday.

      Google Fiber offers download and upload speeds that are 100 times faster than the average consumer broadband Internet connection, and at a much cheaper price. The service launched in the Kansas City area back in July, which instantly prompted competing services from Time Warner Cable to boost their own offerings. Currently, Kansas City is the only Google Fiber location, but Google chairman Eric Schmidt has previously stated that this is not a side project for the company — implying that Google Fiber could launch elsewhere in the future.

      The presence of Google Fiber within Kansas City has sparked an increase in new tech startups to the area, as VentureBeat’s Sean Ludwig previously pointed out. Austin already has a robust startup culture and is home to several large tech company campuses, including Dell, National Instruments, Intel, Apple (call center), Samsung, and others. That said, Austin is very much a tech-focused city, so the availability of Google Fiber would only add to that.

  • True Blood Gets A Season 6 Premiere Date

      It’s beginning to look a lot like that time of year where studios announce summer premiere dates! Earlier today, AMC was all over announcing new episodes of The Killing and now HBO has its own important announcement concerning Season 6 of True Blood. The subscription cable network’s fangtastic series will begin airing new episodes on June 16.

      Alan Ball may be gone from the series at this point, but that doesn’t seem to be stopping HBO’s over-the-top drama. The series signed on some big names for Season 6, including Brothers and Sisters’ Luke Grimes, Friday Night Lights’ Jurnee Smollett, The Rite’s Rutger Hauer, and 90210’s Amelia Rose Blair. According to Zap2It, Season 6 will feature only 10 episodes rather than the normal 12, thanks to Anna Paquin’s pregnancy. Having to cut down two episodes probably proved a challenge, but hopefully that has led to a tighter storyline.

      At the end of Season 4 True Blood produced a shocking and compelling finale that I honestly didn’t believe the show would be able to top. Season 5 came out of the gate hard, however, and broadened the scope of the program quite a bit. It looks like we’re leading up to a big war between the supernatural community and the humans and we’ll have to wait and see how the writers have planned Season 6 out. Without spoiling too much, the strange waters Bill has been drawn into and what that will mean for an alliance between Sookie and Eric could get pretty interesting. Personally, I can’t wait.

      HBO’s True Blood will premiere on Sunday, June 16 at 9 p.m. ET.
