Page background almost black - not as blue
Did you mean to make the background almost black? Compare to the old site:

The form and function are great, but to my eye, that dark blue background behind the white blotter is more of a hallmark for Techspot than the coloring of the logo. Sure, keep the gradient. Just match the darkest part to that dark blue #314252 down to a lighter tint of the same color, rather than gray - perhaps #C4D0DB. Likewise with the footer gradient.
I'm on the fence about googleapis. It's neat to offer tabs in sidebars, but...
Much as I depend on google for search, having to depend on it for display of content on my site is a bit like wearing pants, but having a guest (in this case, google) decide whether to zip them up or down. It's just a tad creepy. Of course if techspot is hosted by google, that's moot. But if not, why not host your own ajax?
I'd link the user profile to 'Welcome User' and make a separate 'Log out' link next to it instead of using 'Welcome User' to log out and having a link to 'My Profile'. That seems more intuitive.
Are you going to change the .ico ? Right now looks like it's still the old orange/yellow 'TS'.
I hope this helps.
P.S. I like that you made the logo 'wireless.' Sweet.
