Roundup of the tech news 24th of august

Over this past week Rockstar have been teasing the gaming world and the tech world and basically every form of media world with screenshots of their newly anticipated game GTA 5. The Sandbox world of GTA 4 was so brilliant, characters had great detail and a rich back story, environments were stunning and flawless and espically amazing on PC. So far this week rockstar have released 12 screen shots, 4 on monday, 4 on wednesday and 4 today and here they are.

Sorry, i tried uploading all the images but blogger wouldn't let me, Just search GTA 5 screenshots into google.

Microsoft for reasons that i can't understand have changed their logo, and changing from the logo from we all know and love and making a logo that i honestly think is strange for the company's image. here's what they mentioned in their logo for their reason to change it.

"The logo has two components: the logotype and the symbol. For the logotype, we are using the Segoe font which is the same font we use in our products as well as our marketing communications. The symbol is important in a world of digital motion. The symbol’s squares of color are intended to express the company’s diverse portfolio of products."

if you haven't already go onto the app store and updated your facebook application, well i think you should do it now. Facebook has ditched the HTML5 programming language and decided to use a programming language that's built for speed. Using iOS's APIs and internals, they've the created the fastest facebook experience on an iPhone. This is now a bullet train compared to the steam train version on the previous facebook application. They've also included new tweaks and features including gesture support that enables easier one handed browsing. Many users have appluaded facebook on the success of the app and how many wonders they've experience with the app.

Speaking of facebook, Facebook has intergrated a new messaging screen, instead of going to the message notification panel to switch from converstion to converstion, you'll now have a easy to see messaging screen and this will be rolling out to users in the upcoming months.

Something that i thought the tech world wouldn't come up with. Changing the back on your iPhone 4/4s is simple and easy and anybody can do it and now with the rumoured pictures of the iPhone 5 back panels, you can switch your iPhone 4/4S back panel with a rumoured iPhone 5 back panel. obviously the iPhone 5 is going to be relativy larger than the iPhone 4 and people at iFIXIT have shrunk it down so it can easily be placed on the iPhone 4 back.

Thanks for reading and that's been the roundup this week.
