I wondered how long it would take for iTunes to be hacked into creating iPhone ringtones from MP3s; turns out iTunes 7.4.0 makes it easier than anyone could imagine to add custom ringtones to your iPhone: just create an AAC file, change its extension from m4a to m4r, and drop it onto iTunes. All done.
It’s so simple there’s no way it could be accidental — at the very least, the programmers planted that functionality without their bosses’ knowledge (and I don’t often have good things to say about iTunes’s programmers). Now the question is, how eager is Apple Inc. to fix this? I’d say “not much,” but the truth of the matter is that all bets are off.
[+9h] That was inordinately fast. You’d think Apple actually cares.
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
