Wrestling Wrap Up: Is Shane the Right Choice for SmackDown?
Was anyone else expecting a surprise on RAW this week regrinding Vince's decision for SmackDown GM? I'm sorry, SmackDown "Commissioner?"
Honestly, I never actually thought it would come down to an actual choice between Shane and Steph. This one felt ripe for one of those outside-the-yard shocks for shock's sake. Like, Vince would be all "I don't want either of you... Here's Sting!" Or AJ Lee. Or, you know, someone we never considered, or only partially considered in our attempt to get ahead of the story and ruin things for ourselves like we do because we're ruiners.
Overwatch Introduces New Hero
Overwatch's first new post-launch hero has officially been revealed.
As Blizzard's teasers from earlier this month hinted at, Ana Amari, a founding member of Overwatch and Pharah's mother, is a support sniper who uses a Biotic Rifle to both heal teammates and deal ongoing damage to enemies from long distances. Her secondary weapon, a Sleep Dart, knocks enemies unconscious.
She can also fire a Biotic Grenade, an area of effect ability that works similarly to Soldier: 76's Biotic Field, but both heals teammates and damages enemies within range.
All Oculus Rift Pre-Orders Have Shipped
Everyone who pre-ordered an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset can expect their Rifts to be on the way if they haven't received them already.
Oculus VR confirmed on its blog that all pre-orders have shipped. New Rift orders will ship within 2 to 4 business days, the company said. Rift units initially began shipping on March 28, though some still hadn't received theirs until mid-May or later.
Despite the delays, Oculus Rift headsets began appearing in retail stores in early May, which angered customers waiting for their pre-ordered headsets. Oculus VR has apologized for the delay, and thanked its customers for having "patience over the past few months."

The Flash: First Look at Kid Flash in Season 3
In anticipation of The Flash's third season debut on October 4th, The CW has given us our first look at Keiynan Lonsdale suited up as Kid Flash.
The Aussie actor made his debut as Wally West in Season 2, however this is the first time we've seen him in costume. While Wally's never had any superpowers (that we know of) on the show, his abilities and new persona might have something to do with (SPOILER ALERT) Barry's manipulation of time in The Flash's Season 2 finale.

Warner Bros. has settled Federal Trade Commission charges that it did not adequately disclose money paid to YouTubers for positive Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor coverage.

It’s Now a Federal Crime to Share HBO Go or Netflix Passwords
As of last week, it turns out a lot of Americans might be breaking the law, as it is now a federal crime to share HBO Go or Netflix passwords with other people.
According to Fortune, a case involving a former employee at Korn/Ferry resulted in the three-judge panel of U.S. Ninth Circuit of Appeals ruling that sharing passwords is prosecutable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
David Nosal was charged with conspiracy after attempting to set up a rival firm by accessing a Korn/Ferry candidate database using his former assistant's password. He was sentenced to prison time, probation, and nearly $900,000 in fines.
