Google: iPhone tops list of searches

Damian Koh  |  Dec 06, 2007

Surprise, surprise! According to a Reuters article, Google reported Tuesday that the "iPhone" has topped its list of searches for this year. Unless you've been living under a rock all this while, this isn't startling news. Apple's dominion, even in its new cellular venture, remains firmly in place. Though for this writer, the entire iPhone saga and hype have gone from initial excitement to mild interest, to buzzing annoyance. He can give you a list of reasons you shouldn't get the iPhone, especially in Asia. Rabid fanboys taking offence can toss their brick bracks at the Apple cart sitting on the dump heap. But the marketing machine (particularly the Cupertino company's marketing machine) makes us do bizarre, illogical things sometimes. Anyway, enough iPhone for the day. It shares the honor roll with Webkinz, TMZ, Transformers, YouTube, Club Penguin, MySpace, Heroes, Facebook and Anna Nicole Smith. Thought you might want to know, too.

Click to View With this hack, you'll be able use almost any of Apple's free 30-second song previews in iTunes, which happen to be available for every track in the vast music store, to create custom ringtones for your iPhone. Here's a brief outline of the steps involved: The first step is to create a new playlist of un-purchased songs, export that playlist, and then save it as text. When you open it up, locate the URLs for the audio files you want as ringtones; using those Web addresses to download the 30-second snippets of the songs. Once the audio samples are downloaded, rename the tracks梘iving them a name (while keeping the .m4p file extensions) that's more meaningful to you than Apple's obscure file designations. That way the tracks will be more easily recognizable for the songs they represent when you go to use them as a ringtone. You抣l be able to do that last bit after loading the files onto the iPhone. Once they抮e on the device, you simply pick the file you want to use as a ringtone just like you would with the ringtones Apple pre-loaded. The 30-second song previews you just added are now listed in Settings --> Sound --> Ringtone along with these other tones.
