iPhone

Like many people who have bought the iPhone, I’ve realised it is lacking in a lot of basic features. But firstly let me say its a beautiful device to use - very easy, smooth and shiny, and great screen, and the internet browsing is the sweetest I’ve used on a phone. So they are the reasons I bought one even though I knew I could no longer MMS or take decent resolution photos and would look like a jerk-off talking on it.

But there was one basic feature I didnt expect to be locked out, that is being able to choose my ringtone. The money grabbers at Apple decided to bar users from setting their favourite songs as ringtones, and instead makes you pay for them. Fuck that I say. So I googled myself up a working solution and wanted to share it with you other iPhone owners (Kendall being the only one I know of).

Here’s the link: http://cybernetnews.com/2008/08/21/cybernotes-create-free-iphone-ringtones-using-itunes-in-windows/#more-14702

It worked for me. And its only a matter of time before Apple find a way to block it. So exploit it while you can.

iPod

Hi music lovers. Thought some of you may like to know that Apple has just relaunched the entire iPod range today. Check out Apple.com.au  and this article for more info. I’m not an apple man myself, but I do have a 60GB iPod Video which has served me well on walks, bus/train rides, bike rides, and in the car with radio transmitter on long drives. So I thought it would be worth a mention. So when the hell are Microsoft going to come in with their Zune?

I love it when politicians say stupid shit, which is like almost every day.

What do you think the greatest threat to Australian police will be in the next decade or so? Well you can forget terroist attacks, “technology such as cloned part-robot humans used by organised crime gangs pose the greatest future challenge to police”. That’s what Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty seems to think.

Read the full story here

The mob is set to be making a comeback, in a massive way. Then they can finally release the much anticipated ‘The Godfather: Part 4″, with robotocised Marlon Brando.

Me thinks Mick Keelty has little to worry about. Wouldn’t the police have a RoboCop by this point?

For the last 5 years at least, Google has continued to push the envelope into new and crazier technological directions.

Well their very useful Google Maps service just got injected with a overdose of virtual reality type experiential craziness. Read more
