Apple's exciting new MacBook is starting to show up and while it features one singular USB Type-C port, it has opened up a lot of opportunities for third-party companies to create solutions for this limitation. Hub+ offers 2 USB-C ports, 1 SDXC card reader, 1 Display port , 3 USB-A \ charging ports plus one built-in lithium ion battery to charge ANY phone which makes it a must-have accessory for any serious MacBook user.

Interested buyers can head over to Kickstarter and pledge US $79.00 (the price of an Apple adaptor) you get all the above ports in your colour of choice. Five of the 10 limited edition 24K Gold Plated unites (selling for US $3999.00 each) are already spoken for.  The three colors will only be available if we meet the stretch goal of $250k so for now its silver or super pricey Gold.

Make quick, easy-to-remember notes with Notification Reminder

Sometimes you just want to jot down something quickly and be reminded at a later time, like buying milk after work. A new Android app called Notification Reminder will help you do just that. As its name suggests, you can make little notes and reminders that you can access and be reminded of at a later time via notification. You can quickly create notification reminders within three seconds, set a Snooze Reminder, update or share notes, or view your note history. You also have the option to create a reminder that is “clear-able” or one with “Persistent on going notification.” You can have the app close once you create the note.

It’s a simple app that follows Material Design. So, if you just want those quick reminders, you might want to check this out.

Google+ takes on Pinterest with Collections

Google’s social network has been criticized for looking to similar to Facebook. This time, Google+ seems to be borrowing from another more visual social network, Pinterest. Google just launched a new Collections feature that lets its users create content collections based on interests. Collections show a group of posts on a specific topic, it can be shared publicly or to select people, or just for yourself. Once you use this feature, a new Collections tab will show up on your profile.

The new feature is available on the web version and Android. iOS support is coming soon.

Samsung to release an ‘Iron Man’ version of the Galaxy S6 Edge

Samsung has a marketing partnership with Marvel. So, it makes sense that they’ll try to bring that partnership to their devices. Samsung announced that they will be releasing a special Iron Man edition of their Galaxy S6 Edge. And of course, it will be available in red. This version of the S6 Edge is said to come out at the end of May at the earliest or sometime in June. They didn’t specify what other special features will be coming with this Iron Man edition so we’ll have to wait for the unveiling.

So, who else from the Marvel Universe would you like to see get their own special edition smartphone?
