The store puts related game and movie franchises together on one page. That will allow fans of video games like “Resident Evil” or “Lego Harry Potter” to buy or rent

Tiny island has huge Web presence
(CNN) — If you’re among the companies vying for one of the nearly 2,000 new generic top-level domains, or gTLDs, you’ve got big pockets. The application alone costs about $185,000.
But if you’re just an average Joe building your own website or blog, there are much cheaper options out there. One of the most popular is .tk. It’s a country code top-level domain, similar to .ca for Canada or .fr for France. But .tk stands for a country you’ve probably never heard of. It’s called Tokelau.
Places don”t get much more remote than Tokelau. It would make a great backdrop for a desert-island television series. The only problem would be getting the crew there. What appears on a map as three

Vimeo film empowers illegal immigrants
(CNN) — A young woman, her face wet with tears, stares into the lens of a video camera.
“Believe me when I tell you,” she says, her voice breaking, “that if this wasn’t necessary, that if my dad knew that he could make us survive in Mexico, he would have never brought us here.”
She and two other young people, all of whom live in Los Angeles, are the subjects of Eliot Rausch’s new film “Limbo.” The 19-minute film was to premiere Friday in New York as part of the 2012 Vimeo Festival + Awards.
Held every 18 months, the event is hosted by video-sharing site Vimeo to celebrate the Internet as a medium for film and bring together members of

Study: Oil spills a frequent risk to inland areas of Midwest
That’s especially true near pipelines, suggests a study in the current issue of the journal Risk Analysis that looks for places particularly vulnerable to inland oil spills across the Upper Midwest.
Despite the attention paid to the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster, which released about 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, the majority of oil spills, about 60%, are inland ones. A 30-inch pipe rupture near Marshall, Mich., two years ago, for example, spilled about 19,000 barrels of crude oil into a creek and then the Kalamazoo River, stopping 80 miles short of Lake Michigan.
The problem is the plethora of “roads, railroads, pipelines, tanks” crossing some 10,851 watershed locales stretching from
