I was recently trying to get to the command prompt to convert gpt > mbr. I couldn't with the install disc I had because it kept giving me this error: system recovery options is not compatible with this version of Windows.
It wanted me to use a different CD, which I didn't really have.
To fix and work around this, act like you're installing Windows through the GUI setup and at any time hit: Shift + F10.
That will bring up the command prompt and let you use diskpart to convert.

Unknown Devices Under Windows Device Manager
Ever have an item hooked up to a computer that wouldn't install a driver? I bet you have.
Ever go into device manager and see an unknown device and not know what it was?
I found some software that aims to fix that.

This software helps you find out what those unknown devices are so you can find correct drivers for them. Definitely adding this into my toolkit.

Inside an Amazon Books Store
Check this out:
http://programmingzen.com/2016/02/10/a-review-of-the-amazon-books-store/
That looks pretty neat. Not having to change physical price tags is great for the employees.
I wonder how many actual employees work in the store at a given time? I also didn't see a coffee shop in sight...
Still would love to check one out though. I'll take an actual book store over internet ordering any day.

Anyone that is doing web development should take a look into PNG Out. It's a little utility to optimize .png images. This is good for resources and page load.
The best part is: PNG Out is LOSSLESS. No quality is lost in conversion and the output sizes are considerably less.
Check out this utility here.

Apparently, deleting the Facebook app from iPhones can save up to 15% of an iPhones battery life.
I haven't gotten to text this yet, but if you have trouble with your battery or keeping your phone charged throughout the day, it's worth a try.
