QotD: Can you hear me now?
What's your cell phone's ringtone? What made you pick it?
(I missed this question, but because I just got my new RAZR and have been busy pimping it all day, I'm going to answer this one anyway.)
The first 32 seconds of Elastica's Connection, right up until the vocal begins. I made this myself, using Audacity, for free. Why anyone on earth would pay up to $2 for a ringtone of a song they've already paid for is truly beyond my comprehension. The RAZR even has a USB port right on the damn phone! For the cost of a $5 cable and a free download of p2ktools (or Motorola Phone Tools if you prefer applications that just work, even though they don't do much and cost money), you can put whatever you like on your phone. You could upload 7 megabytes of lorum ipsum if you wanted, though I have no idea why you would — the point is, it's totally easy to do and you are completely within your rights as a consumer to do so. What happened to the hacker spirit in this country? Why was it so (relatively) difficult for me to find information about uploading my file onto my phone?
Deep breath. Anyway, that's my ring tone. And this is what shows up on the outside LCD of my phone when it's open, instead of that tacky spin art motorola logo:
Thundercats, HOOOOOO!
