To create your own custom ringtone on your iPhone follow these instructions (done using windows xp):

1.Select the song in iTunes and right click on it


2.Select "Get Info" and go to the Tab "Options" and Select the start time and the stop time. For your ringtone you need to select 30 seconds of the song, you can pick any part of the song. After that you click OK



3.After doing this you need to click on the Advance Tab and Select convert to ACC Version. Before doing this make sure that the song you want for your ringtone is selected.



4.You will notice that after clicking in Create ACC Version, another version of your song will be created but this version will be only 30 seconds long. This version will be your ringtone.

5.To be easier for me, I created a folder on my desktop "Ringtones for iPhone". After doing this you can copy and paste the AAC file you just created on iTunes to this folder (or any location you decide).



6.Next, what you need to do is change the extension of the file. You need to right click on the file within the folder and select Rename. After you need to change the extension from .m4a to .m4r. The extension .m4r is the one use for ringtones.



7.After changing the extension you will received the following Pop Up, you need to click in YES to continue with the changes.



8.Now, you need to go to Ringtones Library in iTunes:


9.Once you are in the Ringtones Library you will need to import your new ringtone. The easiest way to do this is to import the whole folder:


10.On the new windows browse for the folder

11.Great you just added the ringtones you created to you iTunes. Now, you only need to sync your iPhone with iTunes.

It seems that the people behind the well known Pirate bay are working on something similar to youtube. The main difference is that they will probably wont bother about copyrights ,which will mean that you will be able to find pretty much any type of content (in HD ????)



The new web page named The video bay launched as a beta , so as they clearly say "don't expect anything to work at all".
Based on the information on the web page it seems that it will use html5 enhanced futures for video , which means that you wont be able to enjoy it unless you are using on of the latest browsers (that support html5).

I was trying to help a friend that was getting the following error message each time she will try to view a youtube video. 'Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player:' after uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of flash player.

The first thing I did was to check if she had the latest version of flash, since she had it I figure the problem had to be a bad installation. So I proceeded to uninstall(rebooted) and reinstall the application. It didn't fix the issue so after doing some research on the web I found this adobe page that has an un uninstaller for the plug in and active x control. I run it, reinstalled flash player. And the issue was resolved.

Watch out with an email that has the following subject "Update for Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express (KB910721). as it is actually a trojan. Don't open it, just delete it.
