Your Phone Battery is About to Die!!!! I know I’m not the only one out and about looking for Pokémon. At the park the other day I saw nearly 100 people swarming all around. It’s really a lot of fun but there is 1 problem I kept having till today. My phone battery which is a great battery just kept dying on me. Using your GPS and being location aware is a constant drain on the battery so it’s natural to not have a long battery life. Sadly I bought a few portable chargers but they would take forever to charge and really where only good for 1 full charge. Nothing is worse then being side lined due to your battery being out of power. Problem Solved 2 days ago on Amazon I ordered Anker 20000mAh Portable Charger PowerCore 20100 and just today I got it in the mail because of my Prime Membership. The results have been FANTASTIC. My phone charges SUPER SUPER Fast and staying charged all day while I’m outside. Seriously. If you have issues with your battery staying charged you need to get a Anker 20000mAh Portable Charger PowerCore 20100. The downside is I know my wife or son will steal (borrow) my charger so I probably will have to order another 2 to keep piece in the family. I’m on a Galaxy S6. My wife is on an Iphone 5 and my son is on an S5. This charger works will all smart phones so you don’t have to worry about compatibility. Main Features The Anker Advantage: Join the 10 million+ powered by our leading...

Hi, My name is Jacob Erdei and when you become a member of affplaybook you will recognize my user name inside the forum as jerdei. I have over 3,500 posts and have been thanked 2,813 times inside the affplaybook forum. I mention this so you know this review is coming from someone who uses affplaybook.com on a regular basis. Here is my video review for AffPlaybook in case you just want to site back and watch. Since this review video, a lot has changed inside the forum but only for the better. There are not a lot of marketing places you can go where you have a sense of not just community but where you have users who really want to help each other succeed. Over the years (Yes I have been a member for years) I have seen people go on to build some incredible streams of income. I understand that for many of you out there you are not trying to become the next Mark Zuckerberg. All you want is a few hundred extra dollars a month to help cover rent or food bills. AffPlaybook.com aka APB is the place for both experts and beginners to learn and perhaps more importantly network with others inside the industry. For Beginners in Internet Marketing APB has a Start section that has some of the most detailed and current training around for internet marketing. You have probably seen those get rich courses online and probably even purchased a few yourself. This training is nothing like those. The methods explained are tried and true methods that can be applied to millions...

Technology and medical advances are allowing people to live longer and healthier lives. From this industry a new frontier is being born to handle the effects of living longer such as home care. As a tech enthusiast and entrepreneur I spend lot’s of time each week hanging out at meetups and events talking with startups and software companies. One common theme here in Minnesota is health care. Minnesota is a hot bed for medical device engineering and medical device and software innovation. A major theme for many is the aging baby boomer population and the need for services to help ensure a comfortable life. The startup and entrepreneur in me want’s to dive right into how many jobs and specialized services will be created over the next 2 decades. When I look online I already see several heavy hitters in the industry who are providing support to home care companies. A good read for those who are interested is this home care referrals article from HomeTrak. Yet there are so many different kinds of specialized services out there for those who age. A recent startup I spoke with is working on a phone app to help those who are in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. What the app does is allow for memory cues and association to help the person living with Alzheimer’s hang on for as long as possible and have the ability to live independently for as long as possible. What really drove the need for help in Alzheimer care home for me was when the startup presenter asked the room if they where caring for a...

I really wish there was such a thing as easy but having done hundreds of data transfers I can tell you that many situations require different techniques. With that said we tackle the most common ways of getting data from an old or failing computer to a new system. Deciding on What to Move This is the best place to start because depending on what needs moved you might be forced to go a certain route. Common folders like Documents, Images, desktop files, Favorite, Music are very easy to move to a new system. All you would do is just copy from 1 system to another via a network, portable hard drive, cloud storage. If you require to move certain programs over to the new PC you would have to use a program like Laplink PCMover to do the transfer. Laplink provides software that you install on the old computer and on the new computer as well as a cable (pro version shipped not downloaded). The transfer is relatively easy and you are able to port over many of your old programs. It is recommended that anything you can install fresh you should install fresh. State of the Computer If your computer will not even boot up or the hard disk has errors then you most likely are going to have to remove the hard drive and place it in an external enclosure shell. There are sold at just about all PC repair shops and Ebay, Amazon. They generally run $15 -$30 dollars. Once you remove your hard drive from the old computer you would place it inside the...

Apple opposes judge’s order to hack San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone Apple has put it’s foot down and actively opposing a judge’s order to assist the FBI to break into the Iphone of one of the San Bernardino, California shooters. Apple is calling the directive “An Overreach by the U.S. Government”. But there is far more to this story. Quickly Read Through the Next few slides to see why the judge’s order has a profound impact on all of us. On December 2, 2015, 14 people were killed and 22 were seriously injured in a terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, which consisted of a mass shooting. Originally the fear was a foreign terrorist group with possibly more wide spread threats. The FBI quickly concluded the 2 killed were not part of a terrorist Cell. Next Up: Those Responsible for this tragedy The perpetrators, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik a married couple living in California where responsible for this tragedy. Farook was an American born U.S. Citizen while his wife Malik was Pakistani born but was lawfully a permanent resident of the U.S. Both were killed after a police pursuit of the vehicle. The FBI has promised to leave no stone unturned during their investigation. Farook has a locked Iphone that is encrypted by default. As we already know from past criminal cases, the FBI has sought and has gotten Apple’s help to retrieve data from phones. In many cases no help was needed as there where a wide number of ways for law enforcement to gain access to individuals phone pictures, texts, call history and video stored on...
