Yes…everyone knows that World of Warcraft is the most successful MMO ever created; but let’s not forget that it was Sony’s EverQuest that started it all. Released back in 1997, EverQuest gave gamers their first taste of what a fully fleshed-out MMO could be, bringing millions of players around the world together to quest online–and now, you’ll be able to experience the game without a monthly subscription fee. As you’d imagine, there’s still going to be a pay model for extra content; but there’s still a whole to like about a free-to-play Everquest–except, of course, the hundreds of hours you’re likely to lose to it.

DropBox is breaking in new desktop and Android apps. They’re experimental, so expect bugs; but to thank you for helping them clean up their software, the DB team is giving away free storage.
For every 500MB you upload, they’ll match 500MB of additional space. By uploading photos and video, you stand to gain up to 5GB of additional storage for free.
It’s my favorite cloud/desktop file sync service, so I would highly recommend checking this out!
If they hasn’t already, ThinkGeek will coin the phrase “Geek Love” with their Geek Love page – compiling some of the geekiest Valentine’s Day gifts ever.

So this is crazy exciting, and honestly, something I never thought I’d see.
The Epic has proven to be difficult to create good custom ROM’s for. It’s the only member of the original Galaxy S family to have both WiMAX and a hardware keyboard.
Thankfully, intrepid coders working on the Cyanogen project have graced us with an incredible experimental Alpha build of Android 4.0. Check out the video! I especially like the part where my old Epic 4G beats a Galaxy Nexus in booting to the home screen…
For those of you interested in taking the plunge (and mind you this is still VERY experimental), you can find more info (and links to support the project) on the CM Epic 4G blog.
With Apple’s computer line continuing to grow in popularity (due, in no small part, to the success of the iPhone and iPad), developers and publishers are making a greater effort to release their products for Mac as well as PC–and Bethesda has just made sure that OSX Lion users have some eye candy of their very own. Thanks to a collaboration with Mac game publisher Aspyr, id’s RAGE: Campaign Edition is now available on your favorite Mac as a digital download on the Mac App Store. In addition to the gorgeous graphics and excellent shooting physics, Mac users will also be treated to some extra content formerly available only through expansion packs.

Since getting into Android gaming, I’ve become kind of a sucker for good tower defense games. Sure Plants Vs Zombies was the gateway drug, but then I chilled with Fieldrunners, then Grave Defense, then RoboDefense.
By the time I got my first Android tablet, I was hankering for something a little less cartoony.
NEC’s aiming at business owners with their new AccuSync AS241W 24″ monitor – the latest addition to the AccuSync series. The AS241W will be NEC’s first 24″ 16:9 monitor featuring a full HD 1920×1080 resolution; it also features LED-backlighting, 5ms response time and an energy-saving ECO mode to help with power consumption–all for just $239. Who says only gamers get to have all the fun!
During CES we learned that Microsoft was going to open the Kinect doors to Windows users and developers – and that day has finally come in the official, and commercial, version 1.0 of the SDK–available now. A number of new features include support for up to four Kinects being used simultaneously, and “near mode” for monitoring motion that’s a mere 40cm away. With as much fun as we’re having using the Kinect with our Xbox 360, we’re looking forward to what PC innovations are on the horizon using the Kinect.
The cream of the crop in Nikon’s Coolpix line of point-and-shoot cameras is the new S9300. This high-power zoom model features an 18x optical zoom with built in NIKKOR lens, lens-shift vibration reduction, and other high-end features (including integrated GPS support), all in a handy package. But that’s just one camera of the six new introductions you’ll find after the jump.
Get charging with Scosche’s flipCHARGE burst and rogue emergency backup batteries and chargers for iPod and iPhone. These new ultra-portable backup batteries are perfect for those times when you run out of power on the go, and using a wall charger isn’t an option.

Both models feature a flush-folding USB cable, LED battery level indicator and carabiner clip for ultimate portability – plus, both work with Scosche’s reVIVE app for advanced power management. The flipCHARGE burst retails for $44.99, whole the rogue sells for $59.99. Click past the jump for the full PR… +Continue Reading
Nintendo 3DS owners that can’t get enough Pokémon in their lives will be happy to know that starting February 6th, Nintendo Zone will launch on the 3DS, bringing new content to the handheld–including full episodes of the Pokémon animated series and game demos. Along with the new content, Nintendo Zone looks to bring even more of a “home console experience,” by not only giving gamers the opportunity to try before they buy, but also adding more multimedia content. Nintendo has promised to put more of a priority on making their consoles more “internet aware,” especially with the upcoming Wii U–and it seems like they’re keeping their word with all of the recent 3DS software updates.

On Monday we told you that any good custom PC build starts with a good case that can grow with a user’s needs; the next component to look for? A good power supply–one that not only gives you the power you need now, but can also accommodate future expansion. Antec is known for making some of the best components in the industry for do-it-yourselfers that want to upgrade or build their own systems–and their new High Current Gamer M series is perfect for anyone looking to build a mid-range gaming machine or home/office computer. The PSUs come in wattages ranging from 400 to 620, and their modular design means that you only have to attach the cables you need–allowing you to avoid cable clutter. Prices start at a very reasonable $89, and you can check out all of the specs and details after the jump…
