• According to a study done by TiVo’s Digitalsmiths unit (read: people who want you to pay more for things), 21% of Netflix users said they’d pay $16 or more a month for their subscription. Oh, please, no. (via Variety)
• Did you enjoy the Warcraft movie as it was presented? Good, because you probably aren’t getting a director’s cut. (via /Film)

This New York Times article on the growing diversity within the video games we play is an excellent look at how things are changing for LGBTQIA people who play games.

• Do you have an account on Dropbox? You should maybe go ahead and change your password. You know, for reasons. Hacking reasons. (via Engadget)
• This excellent fanfic over on Black Girls Nerd Out takes a look at black wizards within the Harry Potter universe. Don’t miss out on this one.
