Apple admits some iPhone 7 and 7 Plus models have disabled microphones during phone calls
Apple has recently admitted there is a microphone bug that affects some iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models running iOS 11.3 or a newer version. MacRumors found the bug in a leaked document. This bug apparently disables the microphone during phone calls, which grays-out the speaker button during phone calls or FaceTime video chatting. Users on Reddit and Twitter have been affected by this bug for several months and according to the leaked document, Apple is aware of the problem. Apple advised its tech support to tell their customers to disable any devices or accessories connected to their iPhones, which is followed by audio diagnostics in case it doesn't work, helping determine whether the iPhone needs repairing or not. The document doesn't mention the actual problem or whether it's a hardware or a software one. Apple made an exception for this type of problem and their Genius Bar employees will fix it regardless of the iPhone being covered by a warranty or not.

Travis Scott - Watch ft. Lil Uzi Vert & Kanye West
Travis Scott has been teasing a new album titled "Astroworld". "Watch" is the first single from Astroworld, with big features like Uzi and Kanye it was set out to be a banger. The track opens up with a child exclaiming this was their last ride at Astroworld. Astroworld was a 6-Flags owned theme park that was torn down and replaced with new apartment buildings. Travis has said his purpose in calling the album Astroworld is "They tore down ‘AstroWorld’ to build more apartment space. That’s what it’s going to sound like, like taking an amusement park away from kids. We want it back. We want the building back. That’s why I’m doing it. It took the fun out of the city." Personally I think Uzi fits this track and beat perfectly, and his bars and voice go very well with the flow of the song. A few problems I found were the beat and Kanye's verse. The production on this track seems very subpar. A basic beat that's looped multiple times fr 3 of rap's biggest artists? A better beat definitely could have been used. Kanye's verse seems very off. Especially the last 2 bars. Kanye says "You don't understand the juice to vodka ratio that can satisfy a real drunk/guess what, never trust a bartender that don't drink bitch". I don't know about you guys, but those two bars don't flow well together at all.
I give this track a 6 / 10. If it weren't for the out of style beat and the terrible bars from Kanye this song could easily approach a 10 out of 10.

NBA play-offs: Cleveland Cavaliers beat Toronto Raptors to reach Eastern Conference finals
LeBron James scored 29 points as Cleveland Cavaliers secured a 4-0 series win over Toronto Raptors and ensure their place in the NBA Eastern Conference finals. Cleveland beat the number one seeds 128-93 to set up a meeting with either Boston or Philadelphia. It is the third consecutive year that Cleveland have beaten Toronto in the play-offs.

"We had a lot of challenges, but we had a great game plan," James said. Toronto coach Dwane Casey described his team as "emotionally drunk after game one and game three". "I thought we could bounce back, but we didn't," he added.

Cleveland will play either Boston Celtics or Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference finals. Boston could have completed a 4-0 series win over Philadelphia, but the 76ers registered a 103-92 win to set up a fifth game on Wednesday.

Barcelona rides luck to fiery, controversial Clasico draw with Real Madrid
The final Clasico of the 2017-18 season had it all. It had all the quality you would expect from Real Madrid and Barcelona. It had world-class individual goals and flowing team moves. It had controversial calls and non-calls. It had a red card, eight yellows, and clash after fiery clash accentuating, not interrupting, beauty and skill. And at the end of it all, Barcelona stayed unbeaten. Somehow.

Barca and Madrid battled to a 2-2 draw at Camp Nou on Sunday that won’t affect the La Liga table one bit. The Catalans are champions. The Madrileños are focused on the Champions League. But a game that many suggested could be “decaffeinated” was anything but.
"The stars came to play". Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez and Gareth Bale all scored. And ultimately, Barca – 10-man Barca, that is – was both fortunate and relieved to come away with a point. Many postgame discussions will begin and end with the referee. Alejandro Jose Hernandez Hernandez sent off Sergi Roberto late in the first half for a half-punch, half-stab on Marcelo. But he was correct there. He was incorrect in the second half when he missed an obvious Suarez foul that led to Messi’s goal, and when he refused to punish Jordi Alba’s leg-to-leg contact with Marcelo in the Barca penalty box. But both teams played well enough to get a result. Both teams played more than well enough. So perhaps the draw was just.

¡Hala Madrid!

Woman Microwaves Gag Of Pee Pee In 7-11
A Colorado woman has been cited by police after a container of urine blew up as she was heating it up in a microwave at a 7-Eleven.
The incident occurred in the convenience store chain’s Aurora location last week when the clerk heard a loud bang and saw 26-year-old Angelique Sanchez take a white plastic bottle out of the microwave. When she was approached by the 7-11 clerk she wiped a yellow liquid that smelled like urine onto the floor and walked out. Police found Sanchez later at a nearby clinic where she had planned to take a urinalysis test for a potential employer.
