The days of Lithion-Ion batteries that charge our phones, tablets, laptops and other devices are limited. After all, Lithion-ion batteries have been around since the 1990's, so almost 30 years now, which is an eternity in terms of tech years! Fuel cells are much more durable than lithium-ion batteries. Most lithium-ion batteries are rated to last 500 cycles (charging a dead battery to full power) before suffering from capacity loss, which translates to about 9,000 hours of use, assuming 18 hours of operation per charge. Fuel cells, by contrast, can reliably achieve 40,000 hours of use, greatly increasing the lifespan of smartphones and other gadgets. This translates into an extra week of battery life one a single charge! Read this article on more ...
Do you travel to places where there is a poor Wi-Fi signal or low bandwidth, such as crowded coffeehouses, restaurants or airplanes. It can take forever to download a webpage, right? This is because there is a ton of behind-the-scenes overhead trying to download, a lot of it you don't need to just see the basic page! Opera is a low-overhead browser that lets you bypass downloading a lot of this while still letting you see the webpage! It also comes with a battery saving mode and a free VPN* to secure your web activity! Best of all, it's FREE! Follow this link for more information and to download Opera!

If you are thinking about buying a new Apple Mac computer (or already have one) but have a lot of Microsoft Windows software and still need or want to use it, you can install Windows 10 on your Mac with full Windows functionality. You need to have a non-OEM (ie. not purchased/included as part of an existing IBM PC), licensed copy of Windows 10. Sorry, Windows 7 and 8 cannot be installed on a Mac OS X "El Capitan" but it can on earlier Mac OS X versions. Contact TheGoToTechGuru for more information!
General consensus is that few people like that Apple did away with the headphone jack on the new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. It's been around for over 100 years and integrated into every device from phones to commercial airplanes. You can't charge the new iPhone 7/7 Plus while simultaneously using a wired headphone.

Apple just announced the new iPhone 7 !!! The new iPhone 7 camera features optical image stabilization, a wider aperture to let in more light, a high-speed sensor, new true-tone flash, and a new image signal processor. As expected, the iPhone 7 Plus features two 12 MP cameras – one featuring a wide angle lens and one featuring a telephoto lens, allowing true optical zoom up to 2x and software zooming up to 10x, as well as the new ability to take photos with a shallow depth of field for stunning portraits. The new Retina display is 25% brighter, and features a wide color gamut with cinema standard colors, as well as the 3D Touch layer. The phone is splash and water resistant (not waterproof) and features stereo speakers with a huge jump forward in audio quality. Both phones feature speakers on both the top and the bottom of the device, providing the user with twice the volume and improved sound quality with an increased dynamic range. The iPhone 7 features LTE Advanced, with speeds up to 450 Mbps for data downloads — over 50 percent faster than iPhone 6s and three times faster than iPhone 6. And thanks to even more LTE bands, you’ll have the best worldwide roaming available in a smartphone. A new A10 Fusion chip - 64-bit, four-core CPU offers 40% faster processing than Apple’s A9 chip, runs at 1/5th the power, providing the iPhone 7 on average 2 hours more battery life than the iPhone 6s, and a new GPU, which is 50% faster than the GPU found on the A9 chip. Probably the most controversial aspect of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus has been Apple’s decision to axe the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack found on every previous version of the iPhone (and iPod, and almost every other audio-capable device in the past hundred years). The devices will be available for pre-order on September 9, and will begin shipping on September 16. The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus is available with iOS 10 in the following models: 32GB, 128GB, 256GB. ...
