As I described in a Special Announcement on July 9, Support Alert Newsletter is merging with the Windows Secrets Newsletter on July 24. Please see I've received many emails from readers since sending out that announcement wishing me well in this new enterprise. I thank you for your kind words and thoughts. I hope all of my readers understand that the task of administering 145,000 subscribers had became too much for me to handle by myself. Merging Support Alert Newsletter with the Windows Secrets Newsletter will bring you a better publication while freeing up my time to concentrate on finding you the best freeware products.

On July 24, the two newsletters will merge, and you will see a new logo for Windows Secrets & Support Alert, as shown in the image at left. I'm becoming the senior editor of the combined newsletter. The combined newsletter will come out weekly rather than monthly, and my freeware reviews will be in every second issue. Geek.com.

Pinned News News Google recently stated they were considering expanding Google Fiber to a list of 34 cities in nine metro areas. While New York City wasn't on the list, Geek.com has noticed that Google Fiber is advertising for a Google Fiber regional sales manager for the New York City region.

"As a Google Fiber Regional Sales Manager, you will manage multiple teams that evangelize Google Fiber services to MDU (multi-dwelling apartments and condos) and large SMB owners," notes the listing. "You will hire and manage a team that proactively reaches out and and articulates how Google Fiber Solutions can help make their work more productive.

" So far, Google Fiber has targeted low hanging fruit -- or markets where competition is particularly stagnant and next-gen telco options (like FiOS) aren't -- like Provo, Utah. They've avoided entering major Eastern cities where competition historically has been a bit more vibrant and logistics can get immeasurably more complicated. 5 comments 10 comments.

Annoyances.org. 64 Things Every Geek Should Know - laptoplogic.com. The term ‘geek’, once used to label a circus freak, has morphed in meaning over the years. What was once an unusual profession transferred into a word indicating social awkwardness. As time has gone on, the word has yet again morphed to indicate a new type of individual: someone who is obsessive over one (or more) particular subjects, whether it be science, photography, electronics, computers, media, or any other field.

A techie geek is usually one who knows a little about everything, and is thus the person family and friends turn to whenever they have a question. 1.
