Of course this is usually not an easy task - local police districts are too strapped to supply resources to solve these crimes. However, citizens have been able to employ technology along with social media streams to get the help they need. The most recent story is about Joshua Kaufman’s mission to retrieve his laptop after it was stolen out of his apartment during a break-in. Luckily, Kaufman had been pro-active in protecting his laptop and installed a security application called Hidden.]]> http://www.guruitsupport.com/mobile-phones/security-app-to-the-rescue/feed/ 0 http://www.guruitsupport.com/new-technologies/lexar%e2%80%99s-128gb-capacity-thumbdrive/ http://www.guruitsupport.com/new-technologies/lexar%e2%80%99s-128gb-capacity-thumbdrive/#comments Wed, 04 May 2011 15:36:19 +0000 GURU http://www.guruitsupport.com/?p=365 Lexar, a company specializing in memory storage, is first in line to introduce the largest capacity thumbdrive on the market. The Lexar Echo MX Backup Drive can store up to 128GB of files and data on a thumbdrive that can easily be carried on a keychain or in your wallet. This amount of storage is huge – the data from an entire laptop could fit on this drive. In addition to its large storage capacity this thumbdrive has some neat features. Additionally, the price has been dramatically reduced to around $200 from its initial debut earlier this year at $400. ]]> http://www.guruitsupport.com/new-technologies/lexar%e2%80%99s-128gb-capacity-thumbdrive/feed/ 0 http://www.guruitsupport.com/general/green-your-it/ http://www.guruitsupport.com/general/green-your-it/#comments Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:23:02 +0000 GURU http://www.guruitsupport.com/?p=360 Manufacturers are coming up with more ways to be "green" – this can include anything from the production of energy-efficient products to incorporating easily recyclable materials in the product and tweaking manufacturing processes to emit less waste and use less energy. Depending on your priorities when choosing a product there are a lot of choices on the market and the field is growing as companies adopt greener corporate practices. ]]> http://www.guruitsupport.com/general/green-your-it/feed/ 1 http://www.guruitsupport.com/general/government-protection-from-cell-phone-bill-sticker-shock/ http://www.guruitsupport.com/general/government-protection-from-cell-phone-bill-sticker-shock/#comments Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:14:40 +0000 GURU http://www.guruitsupport.com/?p=336 As cell phone companies look to the future there will be fewer customers with unlimited data plans. The days of $30 unlimited plans will eventually disappear and somehow we will have to track how many megabytes and gigabytes of data have been transferred to watch videos, send emails, etc. This is not quite as easy and clear cut as tracking minutes and could result in some pretty big cell phone bills. Lucky for us – our government representatives are paying attention to this issue and as a result Senator Udall (D. – N.M.) has introduced the Cell Phone Bill Shock Act of 2011.]]> http://www.guruitsupport.com/general/government-protection-from-cell-phone-bill-sticker-shock/feed/ 0 http://www.guruitsupport.com/general/before-you-toss-your-old-electronics/ http://www.guruitsupport.com/general/before-you-toss-your-old-electronics/#comments Mon, 04 Apr 2011 17:38:05 +0000 Jeff Hsii http://www.guruitsupport.com/general/before-you-toss-your-old-electronics/
With technology changing all the time, consumers are constantly upgrading to the latest and greatest computing products and other electronics. So what do you do with that old monitor or old projection TV that you no longer want? In some states, there is a ban on electronic waste in landfills as laws have been enacted to encourage recycling of “e-waste”.]]> http://www.guruitsupport.com/general/before-you-toss-your-old-electronics/feed/ 2 http://www.guruitsupport.com/new-technologies/sendoid-%e2%80%93-the-last-file-transfer-service-you%e2%80%99ll-ever-use/ http://www.guruitsupport.com/new-technologies/sendoid-%e2%80%93-the-last-file-transfer-service-you%e2%80%99ll-ever-use/#comments Wed, 09 Mar 2011 15:52:58 +0000 GURU http://www.guruitsupport.com/?p=328 Sendoid is a new peer-to-peer file sharing service launched March 22, which claims to be a private and easy way to share files.
