Get free Microsoft stuffs for Students!!

Hey Guys,
I know it's been a while since my last post and this isn't news but I'd like to enlighten you about a website that allows you to get free Microsoft Software if you're a student. All you need to do is create an account and enter your school/college/.etc and verify it. Then you are able to download tons of products from Small Basic to Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio. Microsoft Mathematics to Kodu Game Lab, XNA Game Studio 4 or Kinect for Windows SDK. The list is almost endless.

The website to get the software is here!

Apology for Lack of Posting and new YouTube Channel

Hey Guys,

I know I haven't posted for 2 weeks or so and I just wanted to explain why. As you may know, I am starting my first year of GCSE's this year and during the past 2 weeks I have been incredibly busy and I haven't had much time at all to do anything.

I would also like to tell you about a new YouTube channel me and my friend are starting up called TheTeckstation. We will try and do reviews as much as possible. We have recorded one but editing has been a nightmare since neither of us have enough time.

I am sorry I have been unable to post but please keep checking for more updates.

Google Announces Nexus 10, Avaliable to Buy for the 13th!!

Hey Guys,

Earlier LG and Google made the Nexus 4 and now they made the Nexus 10. As expected, it’s made by Samsung and it will feature a 2560 x 1600 display with a crazy 300ppi (pixel density). It’s the highest resolution tablet out there. It will feature a battery that will give you 9 hours of playback time and 500 hours of standby time. It will sport Google’s latest update, Android 4.2 and front-facing speakers just like the Galaxy Note 10.1. It will be the first truly sharable tablet with support for multiple users that you can easily switch from the lockscreen. This means, when someone I know often uses the tablet, they won't have to log out of everything. Genious.

The Nexus 10 will be available for £319 for the 16GB version and £389 for 32GB starting on November 13 in the Google Play Store in U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Canada and Japan. So I'm guessing it won't be a budget device :p

Google Reveals the Nexus 4 Avaliable for the 13th

Hey Guys!

Google has officially revealed the highly anticipated LG Nexus 4 over on the Play Store, boasting wireless charging capabilities and the latest version of Android Jelly Bean (version 4.2). Before you get confused, I would like to point out that it is a phone and not a tablet!

It will be sold as an 8GB version for £239 and a 16GB version for £279 on November 13 from the offical Play Store. It will be unlocked and without a contract, with first availability for customers in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany, Spain and Canada.

The Nexus 4, along with the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, will all run Android version 4.2. It includes a new “Photo Sphere” feature, which allows users to capture images that the company says “are literally larger than life”. It essentially means that users can stitch photographs not only from left to right for panoramic images, but up and down too to create stunning 360-degree images. Google says any “Photo Sphere” can then be uploaded to Google+ or added to Google Maps. (Sounds a bit Appleish). It will also have Google Now!
