YOUR SMARTPHONE IS SPYING ON YOU… 

Researchers from Northeastern University have discovered that your phone is spying on you. So far, your phone is not actively turning on a microphone, listening to you and sending audio clips to advertisers. But, some apps are sending screen recordings and screenshots to third parties. Even though the scientists didn’t find any examples of phones recording sounds, they warn that you should stay vigilant. It’s easy enough for an app to turn on that microphone and listen in to anything you’re up to – without you knowing, of course.  (First Post)


JASON'S STORY - 

DRAKE BREAKS HISTORIC BILLBOARD RECORD

A longstanding record from The Beatles felt the sting of a "Scorpion."  Drake's Scorpion.

Yep, Drake's album set a record by posting seven simultaneous singles on Billboards Top 10.

That toppled The Beatles record of five singles set in 1964.  

Drake's rankings are as follows: "Nice for What" at No. 1; "Nonstop" at No. 2; "God's Plan" at No. 4; "In My Feelings" at No. 6; "I'm Upset" at No. 7; "Emotionless" at No. 8; and "Don't Matter to Me," featuring Michael Jackson, at No. 9.

Wowzers.  Impressive.
