Making your own iPhone ringtones in under 10 steps
Story so far: I went and stood in line on the morning of July 12th at 0850. There were some 30 and odd people ahead of me. I was able to get into the store at 1231 and I walked out with my very own 8gb black iPhone at 1252. I love this thing. It’s super nice, but Steve Jobs requires that I purchase ring tones for 99 cents off of iTunes to be able to use them with my phone.
I have several problems with this business model:
1. I own my music, I own my iPhone, and I’m not paying anyone anything to give me a 30 second clip of my music.
2. Especially considering *I* don’t get to choose which 30 seconds of the song I want as my ring tone.
3. See 1 and 2 above.
On taxation: McCain versus Obama
I have several friends that have been made fools of by the crap talk express. Some frequently heard quotes are:
“I’m a liberal but I’m going to vote republican because I want to keep my money”
“The democrats will raise my taxes”
“Obama wants to tax me more to pay for the war” (wtf?)
Anyone who keeps up on reality would know that all of the above are false. Especially considering that none of my friends (to my knowledge) are millionaires, these statements are baseless and just means that they aren’t fact checking anything.
