Memphis Bleek Reportedly Files For Bankruptcy
It appears Jay Z’s former protégé & right hand man Memphis Bleek isn’t big pimpin’ anymore and is allegedly broke. According to a report by Bossip, Bleek has filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy after revealing he has just $100 in cash to his name.
The former Roc Nation rapper, who’s real name is Malik Cox, apparently filed the petition back on March 14th at the US Federal Court in New Jersey. He reportedly claims his assets are in the ballpark of $274k, which include his Jersey home, Chevy impala & wedding rings among other things, but his liabilities total near $385K.
He also states that he has $0 in his Chase bank account, $100 cash in his pocket, and owns a company that’s worth absolutely nothing called “Get Low Touring.”
Bossip reports the bankruptcy is pending at the moment while Bleek figures out a plan to pay back his creditors. They also obtained a copy of the actual asset & liability document, which you can see for yourself in the gallery above.
Coincidentally this week, Forbes just released their highest paid couples list as well, with Beyonce & Jay taking the crown making a combined $107.5 million in 2 https://youtu.be/7w0pp1nRm8s

iPhone 7 might have 1,960 mAh battery, 14% bigger than iPhone 6s
iPhone 7 might have 1,960 mAh battery, 14% bigger than iPhone 6s
Another day, another iPhone 7-related
rumor or leak of some sort. This is becoming the norm as we're
approaching the September event where Apple will finally make its new
handset official.
This time around, a "pretty reliable" source apparently thinks the iPhone 7 will ship with a 1,960 mAh battery. That would be great news for lovers of good smartphone battery life, considering that its predecessor, the iPhone 6s, has a 1,715 mAh cell.
So we're looking at an increase of over 14% in capacity if this turns out to be true. There's one thing to keep in mind here, though: OnLeaks, the leakster publishing this rumor, says the source behind the info hasn't been 100% accurate before - just "almost". So this obviously may not pan out.
But let's hope that it does, for battery life has been a pretty neglected aspect by Apple for the iPhone 6s. Now the 14% bigger battery capacity won't necessarily turn into 14% better battery life for the average iPhone user, but it's still good to have. And if Apple does go this route, we assume it will make the iPhone 7 Plus battery bigger than the one in the 6s Plus too, but it's unclear by how much. click to watch more https://youtu.be/7w0pp1nRm8s

Huawei unveils the Honor 8 with dual rear camera, 4GB of RAM
Huawei unveils the Honor 8 with dual rear camera, 4GB of RAM
Right on its self-imposed schedule, Huawei has taken the wraps off the Honor 8 today. This is the new flagship from the Chinese company's more affordable sub-brand, and it does come with a large number of similarities compared to Huawei's top of the line device, the P9.The Honor 8 has a 5.2-inch 1080p touchscreen, and a dual-12 MP camera setup on the back, with f/2.2 aperture. The selfie shooter is an 8 MP unit with f/2.4 aperture. The phone has up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. So far, on paper the Honor 8 is pretty much identical to the P9.
The big difference is the chipset employed. The cheaper Honor 8 has to make do with the older Kirin 950, whereas the P9 sports the Kirin 955. The 950 inside the new Honor handset comes with an octa-core CPU with four Cortex-A72 cores clocked at up to 2.3 GHz, and four Cortex-A53 cores that go up to 1.8 GHz.
4G LTE is built-in, along with dual-SIM functionality (although the second SIM slot doubles as a microSD card slot so you can't use two SIMs and an expansion card at the same time unfortunately). The Honor 8 has a 3,000 mAh battery that you charge through a USB Type-C port. The 3.5 mm headset jack is in too, and that's becoming more and more rare these days.
The phone's dimensions are 145.5 x 71 x 7.45 mm, it weighs 153g, and it runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow underneath Huawei's EMUI 4.1 (the software is another similarity to the P9, by the way). A fingerprint scanner is on the back.
The Honor 8 becomes available in China on July 19 at 10:08 am (yes, really). It will be offered in Pearl White, Sunrise Gold, Midnight Black, Sakura Pink, and Sapphire Blue, though some hardware versions won't be available in all colors.
The model with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage is priced at CNY 1,999 ($298, €269). If you pick the one with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory, the price is CNY 2,299 ($343, €310), while the top of the line variation with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage will set you back CNY 2,499 ($373, €337).
An international launch hasn't been announced at this point, but expect to see the Honor 8 being offered through Huawei's official online store in Europe in the coming weeks. CLICK THIS LINK TO WATCH https://youtu.be/lAMhe-nzPac

Samsung Galaxy S7 active didn’t pass Consumer Reports’ water test, twice
Call it a fluke, or call it Samsung’s mistake. Consumer Reports is an
American magazine and media outlet supported by its own subscribers to
perform rigorous testing of all kinds of consumer products from cameras
to cars.
The Galaxy S7 active (as well as the other S7 models) is rated for up to 5 feet deep of water for up to 30 minutes. Consumer reports simulated this test with the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, but also did the same test for the Galaxy S7 active.
Consumer Reports uses a tank of water which is placed under 2.12 PSI (about 14.6 kPa) for 30 minutes to test Samsung’s claim. There were complications with the test performed on the Galaxy S7 active, as the phone was not able to survive the test without damage.
The water breached into the device and was apparent by the fogging which can be seen in the front and rear camera lenses, as well as the screen, which was not working normally either. There was also water coming out of the SIM tray upon its removal.
Naturally, Consumer Reports figured it could have been a defective device and decided to perform the same test again. The results for the second phone, surprisingly, were the same. Water also breached through the device’s exterior yet again.
Samsung was contacted and the phone maker is investigating the possible causes now. But it could be a number of possible things. Consumer Reports said the test were performed exactly the same for the S7 and S7 edge both of which succeeded with no issues. While it’s not known who is to blame in the situation, let’s speculate.
It had been several months since the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge were
originally tested, perhaps the pressure gauge was not calibrated
correctly prior to these new tests. Or perhaps the pressure was raised
too suddenly for the phone to survive under those conditions.
Well, Consumer Reports is likely not at fault though. Perhaps the water breached through the barometer found on the Galaxy S7 active (Neither the S7 nor S7 edge have this feature which would explain why they didn’t fail the same test). It could be that the instrument which measures atmospheric pressure was not thoroughly tested for water resistance. Or it could even be a really small chance that Consumer Reports tested two defective units.
Because of this failure to pass the water test. Consumer Reports has said that “with this failure, we cannot recommend the Galaxy S7 active.” Ouch. CLICK THIS LINK TO LEARN MORE https://youtu.be/O_qJW4rczR0
