An energy drink was just banned after it was found to contain Viagra

The days of the energy drink craze may be behind us but sugary, vitamin-packed beverages are still pretty popular. In Zambia, Africa, one popular energy drink was packing a bit too much of a punch and regulators have now banned it. The drink wasn’t overloaded with caffeine or B vitamins, but was instead hiding a secret ingredient: Viagra.

As Reuters reports, the drink known as Power Natural High Energy Drink SX began having unexpected reactions to the beverage, prompting further investigation and testing. Ultimately, the drink was found to contain the erectile dysfunction drug sildenafil citrate, which is sold under the brand name Viagra.

Marvel just released 32 new ‘Avengers: Endgame’ character posters – see them all right here

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

As of today, we have exactly one month left to wait until Avengers: Endgame finally hits theaters around the world. At this point, there’s no question whatsoever that it’s going to be the biggest movie of the year. In fact, when the smoke clears and everything is said and done, it should end up being one of the top-5 highest grossing movies of all time. Avengers: Infinity War is currently #4 on the list with a global total of $2.05 billion, and it had what might be the best cliffhanger of all time. Everyone is dying to see how our favorite heroes will manage not only to defeat Thanos, but also to undo the snap and somehow resurrect the billions and billions of lives across the universe that were taken by the snap.

Avengers: Endgame is indeed the most hotly anticipated movie of the decade thanks to that heartbreaking ending in Infinity War, but we still have a month to go before we find out how the surviving heroes will come together and make things right. Well, that is unless that monster leak we covered yesterday pans out and the entire movie was just spoiled. In the meantime, Marvel Studios will continue to tease Endgame periodically over the next few weeks, and it just celebrated the one month countdown by releasing a new series of character posters.

Huawei just unveiled the P30 Pro, likely the best camera phone on the planet

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In something of a surprise, Chinese manufacturer Huawei in 2018 overtook Apple as the largest shipper of smartphones in the world. Since then, Huawei has continued to demonstrate impressive growth, even as the company has had to contend with a number of espionage accusations and various scandals.

All that aside, Huawei continues to push the envelope hardware wise, with the company earlier today unveiling its next-gen smartphone line. Dubbed the P30 series, Huawei’s new devices, not surprisingly, bring a whole lot to the table with a particular focus on taking mobile photography to the next level.

Let’s get right to it — I thought yesterday’s Apple event was a monumental success. Yes, it was light on some details like pricing and availability, but why would that stop Apple from hosting an event to announce these incredibly important new initiatives? Why let terrible tech reporters continue to spew hot takes when Apple can take control of the narrative?

And now what are we talking about after the event, how bad Apple’s original shows are going to be, and how Goldman Sachs is evil? Or are we talking about that incredible new Apple credit card is with zero fees and a cool interface, an effortless way to subscribe to and consume some of the best magazines while supporting great journalism, and the fact that we will finally be getting a modern, gorgeous interface to enjoy TV and movies that will free us from our cable provider?

Latest ‘Avengers: Endgame’ leak spoils a hugely important moment in the movie

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In the hotly anticipated upcoming movie Avengers: Endgame, our favorite heroes will ultimately prevail over Thanos. This simple fact isn’t even a spoiler anymore at this point. When the mad Titan snapped his fingers and wiped out half of all life in the known universe, we all knew that the Avengers would somehow undo all that damage in Avengers 4. Then our gut feeling was confirmed many times over, but the most conclusive evidence came in the form of two slip-ups. First, Sony producer Amy Pascal confirmed that the events of Spider-Man: Far From Home will take place chronologically immediately following the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame. Considering Spider-Man turned to dust when Thanos snapped his fingers, that’s all the confirmation we needed to know that the deaths in Infinity War would be undone. If you’re hard-headed and you need further confirmation though, you need only look to the first trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home. Not only is Peter Parker alive, but look at everyone around him in the trailer. Do they look like half of everyone around them just turned to dust mere moments ago? Not at all.

So yeah, we know that the snap will be undone and the Avengers will find a way to defeat Thanos. The question, of course, is how are they going to pull it off? We’ve seen hints time and time again that time travel will play a role, and we can confirm conclusively that the Quantum Realm will be important since the second Avengers: Endgame trailer shows the remaining heroes in Quantum Suits like the one Hank Pym needed to travel to the Realm in Ant-Man and the Wasp. Now, however, a new leak reveals a pivotal scene in Avengers 4, and it spoils a pivotal moment in the movie relating to how the Avengers will defeat Thanos. It should go without saying, but you should stop reading right now if you want to avoid the major Avengers: Endgame spoilers that lie ahead.

The Apple Watch Series 4 is a fantastic upgrade, but is it really a must-have compared to last year’s model?

UFC superstar Conor McGregor, in a very Conor McGregor move, has announced his retirement from MMA via Twitter. The former two-division champion has had a rough few years and has been in hot water as of late after public outbursts landed him in legal trouble.

Most recently, McGregor was charged with robbery and criminal mischief after taking a fan’s smartphone and smashing it on the ground outside of a hotel in Florida earlier this month. He was arrested and released on bond.
