Just an old fart who thinks Macs should be Macs. Simply the best computers in the world, with the best OS on them.
Apple forgot that. Spreading from phones to tunes like butter over too much bread. Messing up quality. Getting infected with the WIntel virus. Shipping beta software. Losing apple keys on their way...
Guess someone has to remind them: Macs First. OK?
Ringtones.

You guessed it. Tweety, millions of kids ripped off with abo "services" selling them month after month the crap they need to waste their time and hurt our ears, - and now Apple.
E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y who has iTunes and an iPhone (well, that limits the figures a bit, which is great) can now make their own ringtones.
From almost any fucking piece of noise, errr, "music" they like.
Without any brains, because the integrated ringtone-maker of the new iTunes is made for - well - "ringtone-makers".
And then they can sync it right on their phone. And into our ears.
Great job, Apple.
Now - is this new wave of noise pollution at least for free?
Of course not.
You have to own the song. First.
"OK - but when I have bought the song, I can put a snippet of it on my phone for free, eh? I mean, I already own the right to listen to it as often as I wish, on up to five computers, right?"
No, freetards. WE own YOU. Not you the music. If you want a snippet of the song you already paid for as a ringtone, pay again, looser.
99 Cents. For each. AFTER you payed for the song.
Its a joke. There are lots of ringtone makers out there converting your MP3 or whatever into ringtone format, sent it to your whatever-phone via MMS or sync it - and voila - got a new ringtone. Free.
Not for Apple users, who already spit out a few hundred bucks for this polished brick called "iPhone" and payed for their DRM-infested iTune-songs.
Hey, and you know what the worst thing about this is?
When Steve sells you this crap, you can't avoid to smile.
And for a second you feel its great.
The reality distortion field at its best.
UN-be-lievable.
P.S.: the new iPods look interesting, the Touch model, once matured and with more memory, could tempt even me, who has avoided the iPodMania so far... ;-)
P.P.S.: Steve, at least take this blood-money you make from our tortured ears and use it to improve the QM for the Macs and your more serious software. Then I will suffer with a smile, knowing these fools help me to get a better Mac.
