Tech Square

Official Closure – December 2012

James Corbett — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 11:28:45 +0000

As you’ve probably noticed, both the blog and mobile blog have gone quiet recently. Here we feel is the right time to announce the Official Closure of The Tech Square Blog. On behalf of myself I would like to thank the whole team for their positive attitudes and efforts towards the blog, and also the dedicated fans who have been here ever since moment one.

But why exactly are we closing?
Ever since the start, I myself and my fellow director here at TechSquare (Andrew) had a dream of becoming YouTube blogger’s. One of our ideas in our business plan was to produce an informative technology website; we successfully managed this. However, the whole idea came with limitations; the blog was very time consuming, we had international staff causing a lack of communication; overall, we couldn’t focus on our dream of producing a successful YouTube channel, it was being overridden by producing this blog.

I myself felt that we as a team we’re being held back by the Tech Square Blog. This is the reason to our conclusion of closing down the Tech Square blog, we hope to leap forward in 2013 with a new business plan.

Once again, I would like to thank the team and all our fans for being there for us, it’s given us the spirit to proceed into the future.

Recently I saw a few Torrents which include Windows 8 RTM. Versions Basic and Enterprise. Every .iso is about 3-3.5 GB so it’s real for sure.

Wii U Fifa 13 is Better than on Xbox 360 and PS3, says EA

Andrew Jackson — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 12:55:53 +0000

According to an interview with ONM, Fifa 13 on the Nintendo Wii U, looks a lot better compared to the likes of the 360 and PS3.

EA have also said, that with the gamepad, you can make a lot easier and better decision, and as well as take free kicks, penalties, and much more using the game pad!

Seems that EA are fans of the Wii U, are you?

‘No Jelly Bean for Most 2011 Handsets’, Says Sony

Andrew Jackson — Sun, 29 Jul 2012 01:10:06 +0000

While plenty of handsets will be getting the Android 4.1 update Jelly Bean, it seems devices only a year old could be missing out, and Sony is first to break the news, that most of the devices in 2011 will not receive Google’s latest and greatest Android operating system.

Are you disappointed by this news? What phone do you currently own, and is it getting the all important update?

New Super Mario Bros 2 and 3DS XL hits Shelves this Weekend!

Andrew Jackson — Sun, 29 Jul 2012 01:06:03 +0000

With Europe getting the 3DS XL this weekend, and Japan getting the 3DS XL/LL plus New Super Mario Bros 2, it’s hard not to be a Nintendo fan. Both items are available to pre-order at many retailers, with the 3DS XL available for as low as £160, and Game giving free Coin Cases for New Super Mario Bros 2, being on Nintendo’s side is really looking nice for the time being!

Let us know if you are getting the 3DS XL, which colour? And are you going to pick up New Super Mario Bros 2 when it hits shelves later in August?

Nintendo to Start Selling the 3DS from today ‘At a Profit.’

Andrew Jackson — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 12:30:47 +0000

Nintendo has a crisis with the 3DS at the beginning of it’s release, not shipping many consoles, and a £229 price tag that you could even get an Xbox or PS3 and also a couple games, which many thought had ‘doomed’ Nintendo.

This wasn’t true, Nintendo gave the console a much needed price drop, and Nintendo has gone on to sell nearly 20 million systems.

And Nintendo has annouced that all 3DS’ sold from now on will be sold at a profit, due to lower manufacturing costs.

That said. The 3DS XL and the Wii U, should also be great for Nintendo, as well as all the great Wii, DS, 3DS and Wii U games coming out in the next 6 months.

Great time to be a Nintendo fan then?
