You do not have to pay for a ringtone for your brand new iPhone, just follow these instructions:

1. Duplicate and rename any AAC file (or convert other files types to AAC via iTunes).
2. In the Finder, select it and choose “Get Info” from the File menu
3. Change the file’s extension to .M4R
4. If it is already in your iTunes library, delete the original from your iTunes Library (re-import the original back to your library when you’re done)
5. Double-click your .M4R file to automatically add it to your iTunes library
6. Click on your iPhone in your iTunes “DEVICES” list and select the “Ringtones” tab - you should now see your new ringtone
7. Sync to add it to your your iPhone

Now you can have your own ringtone. I hope you enjoy this post.

Hey, wait I am not telling you to get a pirated version, I just want to compare them that is all.

So to start this comparison we have to consider these:

Legal Vista

• Limited number of re-installation.
• Activation via Internet or by the phone.
• Hardware upgrade programs
• It cost you big bucks.

Pirated Vista

• NO re-installation problems
• No activation is necessary, just applied cracks or use a pre-cracked Windows Vista
• Who cares if your hardware changes.
• It cost you $0.00 dollars, euros, pesos, shekels, etc.

So why you have to buy a Legal version? you have to explain by phone why you are going to re-install your windows every time. And of course there is limited time to do this no matter what.

So where is the Windows Genuine Advantage?…

Oh yes, you have to think twice before you try to install Linux on your branded PC because some vendors have a Linux policy to not validate any warranty if you install Linux OS.

This just happened in London when a guy who has an Acer Aspire 9301AWSMi with a 17" display and is powered by a single-core AMD Turion processor notebook went to the vendor store and denied him a repair request on a physical defect.

He took his five month old notebook back to the same retail store he bought it from for warranty repairs, he expected it to be fixed promptly. Purchased with cash on March 29, the notebook came with the standard one-year manufacturer’s warranty which included hardware. It originally came with Windows Vista Home Premium installed, though he’s now installed Sabayon/Gentoo.

He was having a problem with the screen’s left hinge. It was broken internally and a small crack has formed in the case. He owned a similar notebook previously with the same problem. The defect caused the crack to grow to the point where it eventually caused his notebook to completely fail.

When two PC World technicians looked at his machine they agreed the hinge was broken and needed repair. In fact, they even told him this hinge problem is a very common issue with notebooks. He then expected them to take the unit away and repair it. But that’s not what happened.

They told him it couldn’t be repaired because it had Linux on it. Linux installations are not covered by warranty requests. He was told in no uncertain terms that Linux was the exact reason he would not be receiving any warranty service. He was told this by two separate technicians and, after being denied and asking to speak the manager, the notebook still remains unrepaired.

So before you try to install another OS on your branded PC be careful and read all the warranty.

When troubleshooting any version of Windows, learning what applications and processes are loading on startup is a critical step. To this end, the old and faithful MSCONFIG application is a great help, and it’s definitely present in Windows Vista too. Just go Start, Run, MSCONFIG and you’re there.

But now there is a new tool utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

Autoruns‘ Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option helps you to zoom in on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system and it has support for looking at the auto-starting images configured for other accounts configured on a system. Also included in the download package is a command-line equivalent that can output in CSV format, Autorunsc.

You’ll probably be surprised at how many executables are launched automatically!

Autoruns works on all versions of Windows including 64-bit versions.
