Awesome Deal: Motorola Turbo Chargers for $9.99!

You know how much we love Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0 technology, right? Using a Turbo Charger on the Moto X (2nd gen), then Nexus 6 and Galaxy S6 and now LG G4, has been game-changing in our eyes. Quickly charging phones, especially ones that can’t seem to figure out how to last through an entire day, is the type of innovation that changes the way you use your phone – in a good way, of course.

Unfortunately, many of the Quick Charge 2.0 or “Turbo Chargers” made by manufacturers, like Motorola, are never cheap. They charge a premium for this little guys. The 3rd party, random brands, offer inexpensive chargers, but I’ve always felt that you never know exactly what you are getting yourself into with those and tend to stick with those made by the big dogs.

And that brings us to today’s deal on Groupon. The Motorola Turbo Charger can be had for $9.99! This tank typically runs $35, so we are talking a 70% discount on an official, brand new Motorola Turbo Charger. You know what to do.

Cheers Garrett!

Let Google Help You Decide Which Android Phone is Best for You

For some, picking the perfect Android phone may prove somewhat difficult, given the insane number of choices out there on the market. Thanks to a new tool from Google, picking a device right for your lifestyle may not be so difficult, as the tool asks for what you look for most in a device, then lists devices suited for those needs.

For example, if you play a ton of action shooter games and want to take great pictures, Google will suggest the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S6, while others who want a bit more fit and on-the-go will be recommended the DROID Turbo. Whatever your lifestyle may be, there’s a perfect Android phone for you.

In total, there are 12 categories to help pinpoint what your needs are, and inside, a list of the most important aspects of that category are listed. It is up to you to determine what you really need from a smartphone. Once you have chosen your needs, all Google needs to know is which carrier you want the device on. If you like what you see, Google lists purchase links directly on the page.

If you are either in the market or just want to have some fun looking at phones, check out Google’s online phone finder tool right here.

Free Version of Threes Now Available on Google Play, Powered by Ads

If you never checked out Threes, the game that launched many clones like 2048 into popularity, it is now available for free over on Google Play. Two versions are currently available, one that you still pay for featuring no ads, and a free version that allows you to play the game in its entirety, but with the occasional advertisement to help boost the amount of plays you get. 

To explain, you start out with a fixed number of plays. Once you run out, you have to watch an ad to get more plays. This process is repeated until you are done playing. Of course, if watching ads in exchange for plays sounds lame, you can still buy the paid version for just $3.

Seriously, if you have not even tried Threes, go grab it. It’s free.

Twitter is Removing 140-Character Limit in Direct Messages

Twitter’s CEO just quit (or was forced out – who knows), in case you were interested in executive shake-ups at big tech companies. If not, then let me direct your Twitter attention to a new announcement by the Twitter staff to developers concerning a lifting of the 140-character limit in direct messages. On the Twitter Community portal, Twitter staff made the change public while providing recommendations for app developers to follow in order to make sure their apps and services can handle longer format messages before they flip the switch.

That’s right! No limit when having conversations through direct messages come July on Twitter! Somewhere, Master P is makin’ ’em say uhhh.

As for how this impacts you and I, well, it doesn’t other than the fact that we will soon be able to send longer direct messages without limitation. Thanks, Twitter.

Level Money Update Introduces “Flexible Money Management”

On a basic level, Level Money is an app that attempts absorb your life’s financial picture to tell you how much money you have to freely spend each day, week, or month. In an update released today on Android, Level Money now has a Flexible Money Management feature for those who may not have steady income or whose bills change from month to month. 

Think servers or commission-based jobs or those with flexible work schedules who take in cash at varying intervals. With Flexible Money Management, Level tries to “automatically adjust the amount you can spend when bills” or income fluctuates. The goal is still for Level to tell you how much money you have to spend, but with this new feature, a lot of the work should be taken out of it for those with not-so-typical schedules.

This is Flexible Money Management:

  • Set the frequency of income and bills to anything from weekly to yearly
  • Let Level deal with income and bills that arrive randomly
  • Spread commissions or bonuses over multiple months
  • Let Level automatically adjust the amount you can spend when bills fluctuate
  • Create bills to capture a wide range of expenses you want monitor
  • See income and bills that Level predicts for you
  • Have credits that come in each month increase your spendable cash
