No. 4 - After a publicity-filled weekend spent asserting his innocence and slamming investigators, Donald Trump confidant Roger Stone will appear before a federal judge who may look to muzzle him as the case moves forward.

No. 5 – A FaceTime bug lets you hear through someone else's iPhone, even if they haven't answered your phone call.
