- Use a can of compressed air on your fan once in a month so that any dust or unwanted particles get cleared for the smooth functioning of the fan. Using a vacuum may cause ESD and damage the components to your laptop.
- Be sure to clean out your laptop thoroughly once in while to avoid dust particles entering in places they are not needed.
- If you've had your laptop for a while, consider replacing its battery.
- Simply add the spare wire grill tray from your toaster oven or even your regular oven. Balance is perfect and air circulation is just as perfect.
- SMC fan control allows you to set up different fan speeds depending on what the Mac is doing; it will keep the temperature around 40 degrees, so consider using it to keep your laptop cool.
- Try to reduce the time you spend on your laptop.
- If you can't find a cooling pad, try putting a baking sheet upside down on top of frozen vegetables and wrapping a towel around everything.
- update your BIOS of the system time to time.

- Select Change plan settings next to the power plan you are using (balanced, power saver, etc).
- Select Change advanced power settings.
- You can also install undervolting software like RMClock. Same performance but less power consumption and thus less heat.
- The more power your notebook consumes, the more heat it generates. If you’re willing to sacrifice a little performance by running your notebook’s key components in low power modes, it will generate less heat

Five Simple Tips to Increase the Life of Your Phone's Battery
1. Don't let your phone overheat
Heat is perhaps the worst enemy of lithium-ion batteries, the kind most smartphones use. "You should take basic precautions like not keeping your phone on the dash board of the car where it will get a lot of direct sunlight," says Xolo R&D team. You should also avoid charging your phone while playing graphically intensive games, because that will also raise the temperature of the phone and harm the battery, they added.

You should also avoid charging your phone while playing graphically intensive games, because that will also raise the temperature of the phone and harm the battery, they added.
The ideal charging temperature is between 20-30 degrees Celsius, according to a OnePlus product manager.
2. Don't use your phone while charging
In general, avoid using the phone while it is charging. This is called parasitic charging and this kind of usage can apparently be quite damaging. "Small amounts of usage load stop the battery from entering a full charging cycle, damaging the battery," says Xolo.
3. Don't use a fake charger
One important piece of advice from Xolo is to use only the company's own chargers - this is particularly important if your phone supports quick charging. According to Xolo, high capacity chargers can quickly charge the phone up to 70 percent capacity, but can also damage it in the process, if not properly optimised.

4. Zero and 100 are no magic numbers
There's no need to fully charge your new phone when you buy it these days, since the battery is usually charged when you get it, according to the OnePlus product manager. And you don't have to charge the battery up to 100 percent all the time either; you can just start using it and run the battery down before bringing it to a full charge again.

On the other hand, you shouldn't let the battery go down to zero either.
5. Don't leave the phone on the charger all night
While charging your phone overnight will probably not damage it, there is a chance that it is hurting your battery life, and since you don't need to have the phone at 100 percent at the end of each charge, you're better off unplugging it at night

IPhone 7 Release Date And 10 best Features
Speculations on Apple's upcoming flagship smartphone, the iPhone 7 has started though it is a year to go before being launched. Its release date is expected to fall in the third quarter of 2016 with the Cupertino giant likely to unveil the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus later this year.
It was earlier reported that the iPhone 7 might see the light of day in the third quarter of this year by the time the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus completes a year cycle. However, Apple Insider reported citing a source that Apple is releasing the iPhone 6s and perhaps the iPhone 6S Plus with Apple SIM (universal SIM card) pre-installed this year, throwing up the possibility that the next-generation smartphone might come only next year.
The phone is also reported to include the faster A9 processor -- an upgrade from the ARM processor, a higher RAM
space, and iOS 9 software. It will be sporting a 4.7-inch screen, with the iPhone 7 Plus variant carrying a 5.5-inch display.

The smartphone's camera will also be receiving a substantial overhaul with image stabilization and a dual-lens camera that will capture DSLR-like photos. The latter speculation is due in part to Apple's recent acquisition of LinX, a company that manufactures high-tech camera sensors for smartphones.
With a new Apple patent on voice unlocking granted just last month, the new iPhone may also come with a voice unlocking feature that will bypass the traditional unlock slide and TouchID.
The iPhone 7 is also rumored to be built with Series 7000 aluminum alloy used in the Apple Watch Sport, a material 60 percent stronger than what was reportedly going to be used for the iPhone 6, but weighing a third less than stainless steel.
