According to the guys over at the BGR, RIM’s first QNX
smartphone will be the BlackBerry Colt and it is expected to launch in
quarter one of 2012, and the device is apparently undergoing internal
testing at the moment, with a single core processor.
It could be possible that the BlackBerry Colt will launch with a dual
core processor when it hits the stores next year, as RIM is also
working on dual core QNX smartphones.
There really aren’t many other details on the device at the moment,
as soon as we get some more information we will let you guys know.

We’re not too proud and only marginally ashamed to admit we’re among
the few predominantly PC gamers who have not played Warren Spector’s
take on conspiracy theories and the cyborgs who investigate them. It’s
on the list though and this so-called "New Vision” mod just kicked it
up a few notches, as judging from the screenshots we perused on Steam
before hovering our cursor over the Buy button and chickening out at the
last minute, Deus Ex hasn’t aged gracefully.
We’re not sure why the mod took four
years to complete, but "with around 75% of the world textures remastered
at high definition,” it seems fairly comprehensive. We can only hope
some good Samaritan will be around to do the same for Human Revolution
ten years from now, despite the fact the HR looks a lot better now than
Deus Ex did back in its heyday.

into a mega-selling franchise before even reaching a development stage
where QA wouldn’t even bother to turn up their noses on other games.
It’s pretty hard not to like one of the few purveyors of quality
hardcore RPGs left in the business either.
Which meant when Bethesda started threatening Minecraft creator Mojang with legal action over their new game
"Scrolls”, it was extremely difficult to know which way our knees
should jerk. It’s all in the early stages, but here’s what Mojang
founder Notch had to say on the issue:
"I agree that the word ‘Scrolls’ is part of that trademark, but as a
gamer, I have never ever considered that series of (very good) role playing games to be about scrolls in any way, nor was that ever the fo
