For the past three years, gamers and geeks around the world have raised nearly a million dollars in toys, games and cash for sick kids in Children’s Hospitals across the globe through a grassroots charity called Child’s Play.

Created by Penny Arcade, no “Administrative Fees” or other nonsense is collected; all gifts and donations go directly to the hospitals for distribution to sick kids.
This year Child’s Play is expanding worldwide to help Children’s Hospitals across the globe. Below is a list of Children’s Hospitals that need your help. Selecting one will direct you to that particular hospitals Amazon wish list. Any items you purchase from that list will be delivered directly to the hospital you select. Also be sure to choose the shipping address to the hospital instead of your own!

Geektronica says: Netflix has settled a lawsuit with … Frank Chavez, who spent $300 filing a suit complaining that you can’t actually rent ‘unlimited’ DVDs from the company.

“Netflix apparently does throttle accounts that rent more than 12 DVDs a month, which they admit in their TOS. They do this so light users get priority over heavy users.

“The company is offering a one-month, one-disc free upgrade to all customers (which they will charge you for if you don’t cancel after the month is over). Big w00t. Chavez got $2,000, and his lawyers got $2,528,000.

“Netflix fan reports, and NetflixSettlementSucks.com tells you how to opt out of the class. If more than 5% of members opt out, the decision will be invalidated.”
