Google has released a new feature for GMail called Priority Inbox Beta. It works by analyzing your email and filtering it out what it thinks are the important messages and giving you easier and quicker access to those. It does this by seeing which emails you read, and which ones it applies to. So, it’s customized for each individual user. At first the filters won’t be very accurate, but by seeing your patterns over the course of time, it will become increasingly more accurate. You can even tell Google that a certain email is “less important” or “more important” to help out it’s learning curve.

Dust 514 – New Console FPS MMO by CCP
Seems like CCP has been busy… seems like they also have too much money on their hands. What happens when you have a company run, built, and dreamed of by gamers? Apparently you get CCP. Their persistent world MMO EVE Online has been a classic. Something all other MMOs should strive to be. Now they are branching out. They have been busy developing a first person shooter called Dust 514. Apparently they are wanting to release it on consoles. “Well, what’s so cool about that?” you ask. I’ll tell you. The two games (EVE and Dust 514) will exist in the same universe. Actions done in either game will effect the same universe. Dust 514 will be battles in the trenches on the planets in EVE.
New Free MMO – Allods Online
So, I came across this MMO yesterday called Allods Online. I was very very skeptical. I’ve been looking for a good MMO to get into lately and the barriers have either been high-barriers to entry (EVE Online), you have to pay for it (just about any MMO out there), or bad graphics and childish gameplay (WoW). I was first impressed by the graphics for Allods. I looked at a couple of their videos on their website, and it had me intrigued. Then I saw that it was free subscriptions. Double-take! My first thought was then “they must make you pay for in-game items”. Not the case (at least as far as I can tell).
