Verizon Accidentally Rolls Out BlackBerry 10.2.1 Ahead Of Time

UpdateAccording to our report from earlier, BlackBerry 10.2.1 is expected to be officially announced on the 28th of January 2014. When exactly it will roll out remains to be seen and will also depend on your carrier as some carriers require that they approve the update before pushing it out to the masses. Android updates are a perfect example of this. Well it seems that someone at Verizon might have gotten ahead of themselves because according to reports, Verizon has started to push out the BlackBerry 10.2.1 update, with some subscribers receiving the notification as pictured in the screenshot above. For those who are quick on the trigger, they might have already clicked and downloaded the update, but for those who might have been a bit slow or were not part of the initial rollout, Verizon has since put a halt to it.

Presumably this is because the update is not ready to be pushed out yet, at least not until BlackBerry makes it official. According to a statement BlackBerry released regarding the rollout, “A limited number of VZW customers today received the BlackBerry 10.2.1 update however it is not generally available yet. We’ll keep you posted on general availability.” In any case this should serve as an indication that the update is already available on Verizon’s servers and are good to go, meaning that once the update has been made official, it shouldn’t take Verizon too long to begin pushing it out to BlackBerry 10 users.

    EverQuest Next Confirmed For PS4

    everquest4Anyone who played EverQuest back in the day when it was one of the most popular Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Game (MMORPG) would certainly have known how to refer to it as “EverCrack” due to the highly addictive nature of the game. Having said that, the “monopoly” of EverQuest was broken with Blizzard’s World of Warcraft taking over for quite a while. It seems that there is some light at the end of the tunnel with confirmation that EverQuest Next will be headed for the Sony PS4, as confirmed by Sony Online Entertainment’s John Smedley. Apart from that, Smedley also did mention that PlanetSide 2 will be arriving in the first half of this year.

    Man Braves Fire To Save Xbox Console

    man-saves-xbox-from-fireNormally, whenever a house or place is on fire, the first thing which we are all supposed to do is to run out from there without taking into consideration any of our personal belongings that are left within. It makes perfect sense – material items can always be purchased or replaced, but can you really bring someone back from the dead, or to raise yourself from the nether world? Hence, hat’s off to the courageous firefighters all over the world who have to brave scorching and dangerous situations every single day at work.
