New CS Anti-Cheat Measure: Inspecting Players' Homes
I guess this is like random drug testing for fighters before they enter the octogon. Well, sorta.
All players may be subject to visits from FACEIT admins to inspect their computers for cheats and/or observe them playing an official match. Inspections may happen at random and may not necessarily suggest a suspicion of cheating. To be clear, what we're saying is we may turn up at your house. Yes, we are serious.

Blow To The Head Turns Man Into A Genius
Maybe this is why our parents kept smacking us upside the head when we were kids. They wanted us to be smarterest.
How about this for a movie script: A man who hates math gets punched in the face and turns into a math savant. It's not Hollywood -- it's real. In fact, experts say it could happen to any of us.

How Spies Stole The Keys To The Encryption Castle
Did they just say that the largest manufacturer of SIM cards in the world was hacked by American and British spies? That's just lovely.
The hack was perpetrated by a joint unit consisting of operatives from the NSA and its British counterpart Government Communications Headquarters, or GCHQ. The breach, detailed in a secret 2010 GCHQ document, gave the surveillance agencies the potential to secretly monitor a large portion of the world's cellular communications, including both voice and data.

Comcast: Data Caps Are "Mandated By Law"
I've heard some whoppers before but this line of crap takes the cake. It makes you wonder how many time this customer service rep used this line on people that didn't know any better.
"This representative is wrong," a Comcast statement said. "There is no law requiring ISPs 'to have data caps' and Comcast discontinued having a cap in May 2012. We are currently conducting trials of a more flexible data usage plan in a small number of markets, and this representative's statements are not consistent with the training and messaging we provide. We will work to retrain this representative and will reach out to the customer to clarify this information."
