Audible, also an Amazon product, competes with Kindle on the point of manual reading versus audio-books. While Kindle is specially designed for e-books and readings, Fire is designed to be used by kids-with a number of kid-friendly interactive apps. Fire and Kindle are both Amazon products, but with different features and necessities. While Kindle is the market leader and benchmark for e-readers, there are other programs and devices like Nook, iPad, Kobo, Fire, Audible, and more-which compete with the Amazon Kindle. Some older and less expensive versions of the Kindle lack features like lighting, which may hinder reading in dark places. The good habit of going offline to read will also change with the Kindle, and that may or may not be acceptable to some. Advocates of the old-style book reading will also say that reading on Kindle is another avenue to use a device and be exposed to just another screen. Apart from this notion, Amazon Kindle is a good option for people agnostic of how one reads a book, and do not mind reading books on devices. The Kindle needs to be adopted and be used as an e-reader-however, for some old-style readers, they still find the affinity to reading an actual book and not on a device. One of the negatives of the Amazon Kindle is the intangible need for readers to own and read physical books. There are only a few negatives to the Kindle The digital library is comprehensive and one can keep adding titles to it. Books can be stored on the device to be revisited at any time, and it is really as easy as a single click to access them. Because the account can be synced and accessed across different devices, it is possible to access e-books at all times. The books can be stored safely on the cloud and be available at any time, anywhere. Not just from saving up, but also from the space of storing physical books. Also, the number of book options is much higher than the possibility of physically owning a book. It is more reasonable to read on KindleĪmazon Kindle book titles cost only a fraction of what they cost compared to the physical books, which is a big advantage from a budget point of view. Through this format, even those non-readers can have the privilege of being easily exposed to a number of stories. The advantage of gaining stories in an audio format is a particularly attractive one for users not well-versed with reading. Audiobooks allow users to listen to books and is a great tool to use while engaging in a number of activities other than reading. Non-readers can hear books on Audibleīecause of the compatibility and seamless integration of various Amazon products, readers can also use Audible, where one can listen to thousands of audiobooks-with professional quality sound and an excellent collection of titles. On the Kindle, one can easily set their language or read a number of book titles, opening up the sphere of choices wide open. All genres of literature are available in around 44 different languages-with book titles available in other languages, as well. By simply purchasing the Kindle version of a book or story, one can have access to any book or title from anywhere. It is a big advantage to be able to access titles and stories from around the world. One can find references, similar titles, and features like the synopsis, chapter-wise reading, and more. Apart from the act of reading, the Kindle also attempts to enhance the reading experience. The various Kindle versions offer a number of features like backlighting, dictionary, thesaurus, bookmarking, organizing titles, and more. Through the Amazon account, one can log into Kindle from anywhere. It can be used over the web and is available in a number of versions. Amazon Kindle can be downloaded as an app or bought as a device.

MAny tickets are actually upgraded twice. I'm not sure if Rob was trying to say this or something else but from working at the TTC, if you buy a ticket at a cheaper price, the price between the actually price and what you paid is written off at the ticket window. You have to go to one of the following places: a ticket window at any of the theme parks, water parks or TTC Guest Relations window outside any of the theme parks or water parks Guest Relations at Downtown Disney Marketplace or West Side. They don't have access to Annual Passes in the ticketing system. (As mentioned in my above post, you have until the end of the day you use your final admission to upgrade a ticket)Īlso, anything having to do with buying or upgrading to an Annual Pass cannot be done at the Disney hotels. So to play it safe, use up all the dining credits first, then upgrade. (There have also been stories of people who haven't had a problem at all). There have been stories of people losing ALL their dining credits when the ticket was stripped from the room key. If you have the MYW Plus Dining (or one of the new upper-level Dining Plans in 2008), you should wait until after all of your dining credits have been used up before upgrading. CMs at a theme park Guest Relations can essentially extract the ticket from your room key and use it to upgrade to an Annual Pass. Yes, you can upgrade a ticket that's part of a MYW Package. But be aware that the maximum number of days for a ticket is 10 admission days. Note: All of the above info also applies to any type of ticket upgrade such as adding ticket options like Park Hopper, WP&M, or even adding extra days to the ticket. Of course, the Water Parks & More note above still applies, so don't use a WP&M admission as your first admission if you're not upgrading to a Premium AP. You'll actually get *more* of a credit toward the AP than you actually paid for the ticket, because you're getting the *current* gate price as credit. So, your best bet would be to use your first day on the tickets, and then later that day go to Guest Relations to do the upgrade. It's just how their ticketing system works. But if the ticket has been used, even for just one theme park admission, you get the *current* gate price for that ticket as credit toward the Annual Pass. *BUT* here's a tip from a Ticketing/Guest Relations CM on another board: He said that the way that Disney's system is set up for upgrades is that a totally *unused* ticket will be upgraded in the manner outlined above. So, you won't get 100% of your moneys' worth back as credit on the upgrade. You obviously will have paid more than that price to the reseller, because the reseller adds their own profit margin to the price. So because you bought it from a reseller, Disney would only credit you for the money that the *reseller* paid Disney for that ticket (that amount should be printed on the back of the ticket). Normally, Disney will charge you the difference in price between what the *reseller* paid to *Disney* for the ticket you have, and the ticket you want to get. If you leave all of the WP&M options unused, you can upgrade to any ticket you want. If the ticket has the Water Parks & More option, and you *use* even one of those options before you upgrade, you will only be able to upgrade to a Premium Annual Pass. the 6th day you use the ticket on a 6-day ticket), whichever comes first, even if it has the No Expiration option. You *must* upgrade within 14 days of the first *use* of the ticket, or before the end of the last admission day (i.e. You just pay the difference in price between what you have and what you want. It is a slow process (90 minutes in my case). What I finally did to get success was install El Capitan to an External Firewire drive. All failed with the same error as described throughout this thread. I made install disks to Memory Cards (2 different ones), a flash drive and a firewire drive. I tried 2 different downloaded versions of The Elcapitan Installer from the app store. It wasn't easy and took out of the box thinking. A big issue with all this is how long the process takes to figure out you have this problem. I had this same issue and drove myself crazy trying to get it to go. So it seems that I have to formate the whole HD, make a clean install of 10.6, than create a second partion, install 10.11 on it and then reinstall my timemachine backup on the SL partition. I don´t want to delete my working SL partition, I just want to install 10.11 on a second partition to check it out. Maybe there's an issue with the Language Chooser.app, because a long time ago I deleted a lot languages with the Monolingual.app. 01:06:51.323 Language Chooser Cannot load BootPanel.pdf from (null) 01:06:51.323 Language Chooser Could not write to /var/log/CDIS.custom 01:06:48.828 Language Chooser No /etc/rc.cdrom It allows you to scale, preview and save compressed PNG and JPEG images straight from Photoshop. You can also install the TinyPNG Photoshop plugin. We’ll convert them to tiny indexed PNG files. You can use Save for Web to export your images as 24-bit transparent PNG files and upload them to TinyPNG. With other versions it is impossible and Photoshop CS5 cannot even display them properly. What about Photoshop?Įxcellent question! Only Photoshop CC 2015 or newer can save images as indexed PNG files with alpha transparency. If you want to create and compress stickers under 500 KB take a look at the iMessage Panda sticker example on Github. Only Internet Explorer does not support the format yet.Īpple added animated stickers to iMessage with the release of iOS 10. Binary transparency without any workarounds! Is it safe to use animated PNG?Įxcellent question! Chrome, Firefox, Safari and now Microsoft Edge all support APNG. With TinyPNG the background becomes transparent again. Still need to support Internet Explorer 6? It normally ignores PNG transparency and displays a solid background color. Is it supported everywhere?Įxcellent question! The files produced by TinyPNG are displayed perfectly on all modern browsers including mobile devices. I have excellent eyesight but can’t spot the difference either! Use the optimized image to save bandwidth and loading time and your website visitors will thank you. In the above image the file size is reduced by more than 70%. The result better PNG files with 100% support for transparency. All unnecessary metadata is stripped too. By reducing the number of colors, 24-bit PNG files can be converted to much smaller 8-bit indexed color images. File size 57 KB vs Shrunk transparent PNGĮxcellent question! When you upload a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file, similar colors in your image are combined. SQLite doesn’t support such features.Ĭan't tinker for increased performance: As far as the design is concerned, SQLite lacks the ability to tinker with it to squeeze out higher performance. No user management: Advanced databases make user support a high priority. As far as speed is concerned, MySQL works efficiently and effectively. It can even handle a good amount of data and hence can be used at-scale. MySQL is secured, which makes it highly advanced, too. It supports a lot of SQL functionality that is expected from an RDBMS. For instance, it can be easily installed, third-party tools make it a simple database to get started with, and it's enriched with features. On the other hand, MySQL is very easy to work with. SQLite is meant to be great for both developing and testing and offers more than what is needed for development. Although it might appear like a “simple” DB implementation, SQL is used in SQLite. SQLite is file-based - the database consists of a single file on the disk, which makes it extremely portable and reliable. Both the SQLite and MYSQL have certain advantages. SQLite’s supports BLOB, NULL, INTEGER, TEXT, whereas MySQL’s supports NUMERIC, DATE, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP, NTINYTEXT, BLOB, TEXT, MEDIUMBLOB, MEDIUMTEXT,TIME, YEAR, CHAR, VARCHAR, TINYBLOB, TINYINT, SMALLINT, MEDIUMINT, INT or INTEGER, BIGINT, FLOAT, DOUBLE, DOUBLE DECIMAL, LONGBLOB, LONGTEXT, PRECISION, REAL, ENUM, and SET. As a self-contained, file-based database, SQLite can be compared to hosted alternatives, like MySQL. It offers an amazing set of tools to handle all sorts of data.

Want to know more about Robert Kiyosaki’s follow up to Rich Dad Poor Dad? If so, you are in the right place. Later in Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant, I learned that RD denied a pay increase because he did not want Kiyosaki or his own son to get addicted to trading time for money. When that doesn’t work his anger and desire for money forces him to find an innovative way to generate cash. Fed up he does what any employee would and complains then demands more. One story that sticks out to me is when young Robert accepts a job working for RD for little to no wage. I recommend this set because it forces a person to consider themselves in relation to the bigger game being played, and provides counsel in how to operate in whichever quadrant you should find yourself. He notes most importantly that the key to transitioning between the groups is a shift in mindset, as success in each group requires different tools. He asks the reader to consider to which group they belong (Employee, Self-Employed, Business, Investor) based on how they received most of their cash. In the Cashflow Quadrant, Kiyosaki turns the microscope from his own life onto the reader. If you haven’t already, make sure you get your tickets here for my cabaret show on November 7th.
