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.
