NotifyMeAgain lets you snooze notifications on your iPhone

Personally, when I'm in the middle of something on my device, I usually dismiss incoming notifications and normally end up forgetting about them. This can cause an issue if the notification is about an important text message or email. NotifyMeAgain is a brand new jailbreak tweak that prevents users from forgetting about pending notifications.

NotifyMeAgain reminds users about a pending notification by displaying it again after a period of time. It works by requiring you to set a timer after which you want a pending notification to re-appear. This is quite similar to how the "Snooze" feature works for alarms in the Clock app. The tweak employs swipe gestures in order to invoke a timer. For instance, you can swipe the notification banner to the right or to the left to choose a particular timer.

Samsung takes ‘Wall Huggers’ campaign to airports

Samsung's much-talked-about anti-iPhone campaign dubbed 'Wall Huggers' is expanding to select airports, which are among the most trafficked public spots and traditionally the domain of iPhone and MacBook-toting users.

After poking fun of the iPhone's appalling battery performance with its controversial 30-second television spot, the South Korean conglomerate is now displaying Galaxy S5 ads at power outlets throughout major airports.

The posters advertises the Galaxy S5's Ultra Power Saving mode and features a tagline saying "So you have the power to be anywhere but here" in a not-so-subtle dig at Apple's iPhone 5s campaign which revolves around the tagline "You're more powerful than you think"...
