Battlefield 4's Battlescreen map exclusive to next-gen and PC, Battlelog now fully web-based

We spoke with Battlelog assistant producer (and one of the guys in the video) Jesper Nielsen, an affable gentleman who openly discussed Battlelog's trajectory since launch in late 2011. "When we set out to build this [Battlelog in Battlefield 4], our biggest goal from the start was really to bring a better Battlelog to the console players," Nielsen said. In Battlefield 3, PC players launched the game from a Battlelog portal on the web; that led to much higher engagement numbers on PC (despite initial resent from longtime PC loyalists). Battlelog's Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 experience was...lacking.

BlackBerry 10.2 Might Bring "Cardholder" App

A build of BlackBerry OS 10.2 was leaked recently. It revealed quite a lot of information, particularly about the new flagship that the company is expected to announce in the coming months. Placeholder images indicate that the company's much rumored phablet might be called the Z30. The same leaked build also hints towards the possibility of a Passbook like app for BlackBerry smartphones. The image for app called “Cardholder” has surfaced online, even the icon looks quite similar to that of the iOS Passbook app.

N4BB reports that this image was found in the leaked 10.2 OS build's assets.

Doom 4 Underwent A Redesign Due To Its Lack Of "Spirit" And "Soul"

It's been a while since we last heard about Doom 4, although back in 2012 there were rumors that the game might have been cancelled, although those rumors have since been refuted. John Carmack then stated that Doom 4 will be "done when it's done" and while we appreciate the developers trying to create the best game possible, there's still no word on a possible release, let alone an official announcement of sorts. Well as it turns out it seems that the reason why Doom 4 has yet to make an appearance, which some speculated could take place at Quakecon this year, is because the game had to undergo a redesign.

Adidas Springblade Running Shoes review

. My daily geek uniform includes a pair of sneakers, tennis shoes, athletic shoes, kicks or whatever other name you might call them. I own more pairs of sneakers than “grown up” shoes and am picky when it comes to their style and comfort. A month or so ago when I saw the news about the new Springblade running shoes from Adidas I knew I wanted to try them. My first thought upon seeing them was of the special running blades that amputee athletes sometimes use. Dave Rees is The Gadgeteer's resident runner, so I asked him what he thought about the Springblades.

Acer Iconia W3 Gets Price Cut

Is it me, or do you think that Windows-powered tablets do not have a generally bright future. That is what one would mull over after hearing that the Microsoft Surface Pro has just received a $100 price cut, and this time around, the recently introduced Acer Iconia W3 8" Windows-powered tablet (in June this year in fact) will get a price cut. This is less than three months after pre-orders were taken, where it will cost $80 cheaper than the $379 listed price for the 32GB model.

Kirobo Robot Sent To Space At Last

In June this year, we did bring you word that Japan's very own Kirobo robot was being prepared for a mission where no lovable and cute robot as itself has ever gone before – to the final frontier for mankind, namely space. Of course, after watching Pacific Rim, you might start to wonder whether fissures deep down in the ocean might yield lifeforms from a different galaxy. Having said that, let us take a look at what Kirobo would be up to when it is blasted all the way to space.

Handy Salt Meter Figures Out Salt Level In Your Food

The Japanese are well known to have an extremely healthy diet, so much so that you will find plenty of centenarians there, more than in any other country in the world. Of course, with the introduction of McDonalds and other fast foods, it might be a matter of time before that record falls. Still, despite the perception that Japan has a healthy food culture, it has been said that a fair number of Japan's most popular dishes do come with enough fat and salt which can raise one's blood pressure to a new record (not a good thing at all) if you are not careful in your indulgence.
