IT Geeks are back in Trend

IT Geeks are back in trend and taking over. A new start up of Tech Geeks are taking over London, helping people with their IT needs in the comfort of their own homes.
 
Student@Home, a company have an army of IT students who are providing IT support to members of the public in the comfort of their own home. Launched earlier this year & so far they have 60 students working for them and are spreading across London (soon to be UK widespread).
 
CEO Kelly Klein believes students are the key to their success. Bringing their expertise to members of the public at an affordable rate. She also sees Student@Home as a business that supports real people with their needs in a new era where technology is part of our everyday life.  'There is so much to learn and by receiving relevant support really can change people's lives' said Kelly Klein.
 
Kelly believes there is a great opportunity for IT students to make a real contribution and share their skills and knowledge in such an innovative way to teach clients practical skills that make day to day tasks easier, quicker and more convenient.  Also to provide employment to IT graduates as unfortunately the highest percentage of unemployment post graduation lies in IT.

Amazon slashes $50 off Kindle Fire HD 8.9 models during January, but only for students

While many of us are still recovering from New Year's celebrations, Amazon is considerably clearer-headed: it wants us ready for the winter school term that's about to start. Appropriately, it's offering a surprisingly steep discount on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 for students. Americans headed back to class can get $50 off the price of the larger tablet for the whole of January, regardless of the capacity or the presence of LTE. The catch, apart from needing a .edu email address for the Amazon Student program, is the requirement for an active Prime subscription -- although that's no great shakes when Amazon accepts both the free six-month offer and the $39 yearly student plan. At $249, the discounted Kindle Fire HD is tempting for anyone who can do their course shopping at the Kindle Store... or just wants a convenient distraction during mid-terms.
