Dear Readers, This topic might be a little old tech for some of you here but i do receive some enquiries about how to create ringtone from MP3 music format files. I'll be writing a step by step method on how you can do it without any help from any other software besides iTunes. i hope this will benefit some of you who wish to do that but wondering HOW...?
Step1: Get your favorites MP3 songs already.
Step2: Play the MP3 in itunes. (this song should show up in the library music.)
Step3: Right Click on the music file and select Get Info....
Step4: A window will pop up, then select the Options tab.
Step5: At the "Start time and Stop time", key in your favorites part of the song with a max of 30secs.
(E.g. : Start time at 1:30 to 2:00) then click ok.
Step6: Right Click on the song again and click Create ACC Version.
Step7: Locate the newly created 30secs music file and rename the extension from .m4a to .m4r
(E.g. : My Song.m4a to My Song.m4r)
Step8: Now you can double click on the .m4r file and it should show up in the itune under Tones.
Step9: With this, you can Sync this file into your iphone as ringtone.
Thank you.

Groupon is selling Samsung Galaxy Nexus at only S$620/- (without contract)
According to groupon, it is 31% off !!! I still do not have a chance to visit the shop to find out original price but If there is true, I think it's a good deal. But on the other hand, I feel that Nexus is not as popular as the Note and S2. For those who knows the current price of the Nexus please help to provide more info. For those who are interested on the deal, below is the link.

Beware of Scam.
I posted a ad online last week to sell off my wife's hand bag (S/S2011 Balenciaga Velo in Militaire).
later last week, i received an email from a guy call Henry Rock from USA. Stated he is interested in the bag i posted and would like to buy it for her daughter. Below in red is from his email babajo2004@yahoo.com
I know we cannot trust all this online, but i just like to know how this people would scam and what they are up to. So later i send him my paypal account as requested. Last night, he send me a email said he had done a fund transfer into my paypal account but paypal will only release the fund after i provide a valid AWB (Airway Bill number) for the shipment of the goods. follow by i received an email from "Paypal" saying a fund had been done by this Henry Rock and mention the same thing that i need to provide a AWB#. But..... when i click into the detail of the email address, it shows customerhelpdept@usa.com, NOT FROM PAYPAL.
So here is the trick, people will get over excited that someone is interested in their products and might quickly ship the items. And before you can receive the fund, your goods is gonnne....!!!
Some scam will also tell you they have this big amount of money that they will transfer to you and you can keep some percentage for your help (Money Laundry), but first you need to trnasfer some funds for some documentation fee. Bullshit, if they have this kind of money, why do they still need to you transfer a small amount of money to them first. Ask them to cut from your comm instead lah !!!
So everyone please be careful of all this scam and never trust until you see the money. Not ever those who want you to send them a little money before they can transfer any funds to you.
For me, i always like to reply to them to see what they are up to. :D
Hello i am Mr Henry Rock from United State Of America, how are you today and how are your families ? hope all is good ? well i am interested in buying the item for my daughter in USA, because it my daughter that need it and i hope she would like it , so kindly get to me with the total cost of the item including the shipping cost to her address below with post office, i pay through either Paypal or Bank transfer ok reply soon.

3 Ways to Use Windows on Your Mac
One of the biggest reasons that Windows users have a hard time making the switch to a Mac is that they have obtained years and years of Windows software. Of course there is no real way to run Windows apps natively on the Mac operating system. But, instead of not becoming a Mac convert or starting your application collection from scratch, you can use these 3 ways to use Windows on your Mac.Remote Desktop
One of the fastest ways to get Windows running on a Mac, especially if you already have an installation of Windows (XP, Vista, or 7 Pro or higher) is to use the free Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection application that is available for your Mac. You will need to do some initial configuration, like making sure that your Windows PC is accessible through a firewall and allows for remote desktop connections.To allow remote desktop connection on Windows do the following:
XP
- Click Start and then right-click My Computer.
- Click Properties.
- Click the Remote tab, and then click to select “Allow users to connect remotely to this computer”.
- Confirm the change.
Windows Vista/7
- Click the start button and in the search box type “Control panel” and hit Enter.
- Double click the System icon.
- Under Tasks to the left click Remote settings.
- One the System properties dialogue under the Remote Desktop heading, choose Allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop
- Click apply.
Virtualization
If you don’t want to remotely access your PC, keep Windows with you on your Mac, and have the ability to use your Windows apps next to your Mac apps, then virtualizing Windows inside of OS X is the way to go. There are a handful of great virtualization suites out there including Parallels Desktop ($79.99) and VMware Fusion ($49.99). But, if you want virtualization done for free, you may want to look into VirtualBox that was originally created by Sun and is now owned by Oracle.Virtualization is a great way to use Windows on your Mac but can be a little bit of a bear to setup, especially if you aren’t familiar with virtualization at all. The process basically includes installing the virtualization software, creating a new virtual machine, and then installing Windows on the new virtual machine. The creation of the virtual machine (especially with Parallels and VirtualBox) is pretty straightforward. Where you can run into issues with the virtual machine is when you are trying to virtualize certain hardware components and setups, but for most users, they will never have to touch these options.
Another thing about virtualization is that you will need a valid license and installation media for the version of Windows you want to install.
Probably the hardest part of virtualizing Windows on a Mac is installing Windows on the virtual machine. If you have installed Windows before with succes, then this won’t be an issue, but for those that have never installed Windows, it could pose a problem.
Luckily there are some great tutorials for installing Windows from the Microsoft Support Site. Also, since Windows Vista, the installation process has become much easier.
Boot Camp
While virtualization is a great way to use your Windows apps alongside your Mac apps, some power users may want the full power of their Mac hardware to run Windows. For this type of user I suggest using Apple’s Boot Camp to install Windows on a totally separate partition on your Mac. This gives you the ability to boot into either OS X or Windows when you turn your compter on.The benefits of using this type of setup is that you get to use the power of your Mac to run Windows, rather than using a less powerful virtual machine because it doesn’t have to share resources with the “host” operating system. Also, using Windows 7 natively on a Mac is pretty great and can prove to be a better user experience than most of the high-end PCs that are available.
The installation guides for Boot Camp can be found here on Apple’s support site. Just choose the installation guide that is applicable to your Mac to make it happen. Once again, you will have to know how to install Windows natively and have a valid Windows license and installation media to get this to work.
Go forth, you cross-platform warrior
Now that you have the ability to use Windows on your Mac you can use pretty much all the software in the world. Pretty awesome, huh? You can now turn into a cross-platform, Windows on Mac warrior.Resources
Windows 8: What You Need to Know
Windows 8: What You Need to Know
Your questions about Microsoft's latest operating system, answered.
Microsoft showed its first public demo of Windows 8 on Wednesday, and it's
not at all like the Windows operating systems you've come to know over the past
25 years. The next version of Microsoft's operating system ("Windows 8" is just
a codename) is a radical departure, designed around touch screens.
If this revelation is making you weak in the knees, worry not. Here's a handy FAQ on the early Windows 8 build that Microsoft demonstrated:
What Windows 8 features did Microsoft demonstrate?
Essentially, Microsoft showed how Windows 8 will work on both tablets and traditional PCs. The operating system's home screen is filled with big, touchable panels, like the live tiles in Windows Phone 7, and from there you can tap and swipe your way to other touch-based applications. But underneath that touchy layer is plain old Windows, with a task bar, file manager, app icons--everything.
Swipe across to multitask. (Click to Zoom)
How does the touch interface work?
From the start menu, which shows basic information like time and unread e-mail counts, users swipe upwards to reveal the home screen and its tiles. As with Windows Phone 7, apps can show some information within the tiles--users needn't click on the weather app to see the current temperature, for example. Swiping from the right bezel brings up a menu that can take users from an app back to the home screen.
Users can multitask between open apps by swiping across from the left bezel. And therein lies the coolest-looking feature of Windows 8: When swiping in a new app, users can snap it in place next to the app that's currently running. This allows users to view two apps at the same time--something that no existing tablet OS can do.
Windows 8 Weather App (Click to Zoom) How
will Windows 8 apps work?
Microsoft says it's created a new kind of app for Windows 8 using HTML5 and Javascript, and they're a lot like the apps you'd expect to find on a tablet. A weather app shows the five-day forecast. A news reader displays stories and thumbnail images in big, rectangular panes. Microsoft also showed off Internet Explorer 10, which is optimized for touch. Presumably Microsoft will distribute these apps through its own store--there's a "Store" tile in the version of Windows 8 that Microsoft demonstrated--but the company offered no details.
Legacy apps and new apps can run side by side (Click to
Zoom) What about existing Windows apps, such as Office and
Photoshop?
They'll still work. Loading one of these apps will bring up a more familiar version of Windows. According to All Things Digital, classic Windows apps will use "fuzzy hit targeting" to aid finger taps, but they won't be optimized for the touch screen like Windows 8's HTML5/Javascript concoctions. Legacy apps can, however, run side by side with the new Windows 8 apps.
But what about Windows PCs running on ARM chips? Will legacy apps run on those devices?
It's conceivable that ARM-based
Windows devices will be restricted to the touch-centric user interface in
Windows 8, but Microsoft hasn't made any announcements on that front. In fact,
Microsoft recently denied
claims made by an Intel executive about which apps will run on ARM-based
Windows machines. Intel's Renee James had said to expect at least four versions
of Windows for ARM processors, and that none of these versions would be
compatible with apps from Windows XP, Vista or 7. Microsoft said these
statements were "factually inaccurate and unfortunately misleading," but didn't
clarify the matter with any details. In other words, the question is still
unanswered.
When's the Windows 8 release date?
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said that Windows 8 will launch in 2012, but the company hasn't been any more specific than that. Expect more details on Windows 8 in September, when Microsoft will hold the BUILD conference for developers. For now, check out Microsoft's first video of Windows 8 in action.
