SoundCloud is now available on Xbox One
SoundCloud has released an app on Xbox One, allowing users to listen to the millions of tracks available on the streaming service. The app will work for anyone with a SoundCloud account — paid or free — and users will be able to listen to music in the background while they play a game.

An app for Windows 10 is launching in beta as well, and will be available in the Windows Store later this week. Hopefully a Mac app is also in the works — desktop apps for music services are usually an improvement over another battery-draining Chrome tab. You can download the SoundCloud app on your Xbox One today.

More Than 1,000 People Injured During Stampede at Soccer Game Viewing in Italy
Panic spread through a throng viewing the Champions League soccer final in a Turin square on Saturday and prompted a stampede that injured more than 1,000, authorities said.
Fans in the northern Italian city gathered in San Carlo Square to view the match on a big screen. Their beloved local team, Juventus, competed against Real Madrid in the match, in Cardiff, Wales.
But chaos ensued during the outdoor party, sparking the crush.
Italian news agency ANSA is now reporting 1,527 people, three of whom were in serious condition.
“The underlying cause was panic, what unleashed the panic has to be understood,” said the prefect of Turin, Renato Saccone, who arrived to Piazza San Carlo to see what had happened.
The prosecutor’s office has kicked off a probe into the incident, which occurred in a continent edgy over the threat of terror.
It was not known what caused the stampede.

Monica Viscovo, press officer of the Turin state police, said some eyewitnesses reported an explosion. There was also speculation of a fireworks explosion or a firecracker.
Authorities said people were injured when a railing fell.
Antonio Scarmozzino, director of the Molinette Hospital in Turin, said around 350 people were treated, with three of them badly hurt. Two women and a boy were in serious condition after they were “crushed by the people trying to escape,” he said.
“I’m shocked at what happened in San Carlo Square, #Torino, and close to the people involved. We’re watching the situation minute by minute,” Turin Mayor Chiara Appendino said on Twitter.
The square was littered with debris and people who came to watch the match left behind shoes and other belongings.
Real Madrid won the match 4-1. The win was a milestone in the Champions League, a popular yearly competition for the top European teams.
The Spanish team won its 12th European Cup and become the first team in 27 years to retain the trophy.
Real Madrid is the first team to win back-to-back titles since the competition morphed into the Champions League.

‘Wonder Woman’ breaks record with $100.5 million debut
Aside from bringing in over $100.5 million, the film has been dubbed the biggest domestic opening for a film directed by a woman.
Shattering the glass ceiling in Hollywood didn’t come easy for the Patty Jenkins directed film. Before the film even hit theaters, there was controversy surrounding the heroine, Gal Gadot’s lack of body hair, talks of the film not being feminist enough and concerns over female-only screenings.
Despite the drama, Wonder Woman went on to receive a 93% certified fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes as well.
People all over social media couldn’t help but bask in the success of the film and acknowledge the possibilities it could provide to other women directors on the rise.
