Huawei is at the center of the United States' trade war with China right now, although US officials have cited security concerns when going forward with restrictions (although that might be a huge lie). As things stand right now, US companies can't purchase Huawei telecom equipment, and Huawei isn't allowed to use any technology made by US firms. We saw a preview of the latter last year when ZTE nearly had to shut down operations because of a similar measure.

In case anyone is still wondering why Apple doled out $3 billion for Beats Music, all one has to do is look to the immense success and growing popularity of Spotify. Just this week, Kendrick Lamar's new album, To Pimp a Butterfly, set a new Spotify record for the most streams in a single day, 9.6 million to be exact.

In an effort to put this ignorance to bed, let's take a little closer look at this inexplicable little endocrine gland.
