Tinder Intros “Super Like,” in Case a Regular “Like” Isn’t Enough

Tinder, the dating app based on “nope” and “like,” has a new feature for those who really need to express how much they like a person they have never met. Called “Super Like,” this will show the recipient that you mean business, ready to meet and start a life together as soon as possible. 

Your number of usable Super Likes is limited, making their meaning all the more special. You know, because people want to feel special. Tinder feels this will lead to more meaningful matches for users. According to Tinder’s presser, “Users will be able to determine whether someone has Super Liked them by the presence of a blue footer on a given profile.  The receiver is still in control of whom they want to match with, but the existence of a Super Like can influence that decision.”

The Super Like is rolling out to users in Australia first, followed by a global rollout in the following weeks. Sorry, you’ll have to wait to find true love with Super Likes for a bit longer.

Have any fun stories about Tinder? I want to hear them!

Google Posts LMY48M Factory Images for Nexus 6, 9, 5, 7 (2013), 10, and 4

Yesterday, T-Mobile told us to expect monthly security updates for Nexus devices including the Nexus 4, 5, 6, 7 (2013), 9, and 10. Today, Google posted the factory images for each as build LMY48M.

Keep in mind that the T-Mobile Nexus 6 will receive a different update as build LYZ28K, so if you are running a Nexus 6 on T-Mo, don’t flash these LMY48M images. 

You can grab the new factory images here. Instructions for flashing can be found here.

Live Chat: Apple’s September 2015 iPhone 6s, Apple TV, Sirified, iPad Pro, iOS 9er, El Capitan All the Things Event!

There is an Apple event today at 10AM Pacific. Because of said event, and our constant need for snark, we will be live chatting the happenings as we always do.

A couple of weeks back, as Apple was inviting the press to this September extravaganza, we told you to prepare for sensationalism. You should probably prepare for more than that. Let’s be honest here, sensationalism is only the beginning of what will undoubtedly be an embarrassing display of “THIS IS AMAZING.” You should prepare for finger tips to be permanently lacking blood (Force Touch), even awesomer iPad photo shoots (nothing like 12-inch tablet photos!), and charts with misleading information. So many charts. 

The live chat is embedded below. Apple will also live stream the entire event, though. You can watch it here. Unfortunately, you have to do so through an Apple device or in Safari. Ugh, I know, Safari.

10AM Pacific (1PM Eastern). Ready?

Verizon Introduces XXL Plan of 18GB for $100

This morning, Verizon announced a new XXL option that will join the S-M-L-XL choices of its still newish “The Verizon Plan.” The XX-Large option includes 18GB of shareable data for $100 per month. That’s a decent deal if you compare it to AT&T’s $100 option, which only has 15GB of data. 

Here is the current line-up:

  • Small: $30/month for 1GB of shareable data
  • Medium: $45/month for 3GB of shareable data
  • Large: $60/month for 6GB of shareable data
  • X-Large: $80/month for 12GB of shareable data
  • XX-Large: $100/month for 18GB of sharable data

Verizon introduced the new S-M-L-XL back in early August in an attempt to simplify the process of buying wireless service through them. They used to do all of these silly (and confusing) discounts on line access fees depending on how much data you bought or if you were a part of their Edge device payment plan. With “The Verizon Plan” it’s a flat $20 line access charge, a flat rate for data, and then whatever the cost is per month for your phone payment. It is simplified, that’s for sure.

To read more about the new plan details and how Verizon killed the 2-year contract, check out this post and this post.

DEAL: Groupon’s $10 Turbo Charger Deal is Back

Still haven’t picked up a Turbo Charger or one of the many Quick Charge 2.0 chargers that Amazon sells at rock bottom prices? Assuming you haven’t bought the Quick Charge-less OnePlus 2, you should probably own at least two of these chargers. They really do make life much less stressful, knowing that as your battery deteriorates during a day, that you can quickly juice it fully within about an hour. Quick Charge 2.0 is easily one of the best tech inventions of the last 5 years.

So if you haven’t picked one up, we wanted to point out that the Groupon deal for Motorola’s Turbo Charger is back. You can grab a re-certified version for just $9.99 or pick up a brand new one for $14.99. These originally retailed for around $35, so we’re talking a significant discount. And at $9.99, you are even getting a better price than the off-brand adapters Amazon is selling.

Your Next Phone Might Have 6GB of RAM, Thanks to Samsung

Your next flagship phone from Samsung (or another OEM) might have 6GB of RAM inside. I know that you are still wrapping your brain around it having 4GB, but Samsung is ready to move beyond that mark through its first 12Gb LPDDR4 mobile DRAM based on its 20nm process.  

It’s new RAM is said to be 30% faster than its 8Gb RAM and twice as fast as DDR4 DRAM for PCs, “while consuming less energy.” When used in a single 6GB RAM package, Samsung says that it can fit in the same space used by a 3GB RAM package, so really, your next flagship will probably have 6GB RAM. That’s just nuts.

Mass production for this new 12Gb RAM has begun.
