MacGroup: How Do You Do This?

You might try http://www.3gupload.com/?kw=202 for a long list of ready to go tones that work on quite a few phones. A lot of phones play midi files so a sound file convertor app might work for you. Or you can try RingTone ConverterX http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/morei

MacGroup: How Do You Do This?

Over the weekend, at a party (naturally), a group of us Mac nuts wondered how you could get an audio clip from a DVD or CD and port it over to your cellphone as a ringer. For example, if you had a DVD of Dirty Harry and you wanted to tape Clint Eastwood's statement "Do you feel lucky?" and mak

MacGroup: it's official! ... and it's a shame

I forgot to put in the speculation part. S!!! Teaming with IBM got Apple a lot of notice, especially after the projects like the Virginia cluster were so successful. XServe and Xraid showed they had a place in the corporate network computer room. But only a place, not the entire roo
