• Minute of Mango: Custom Ringtones

  1 day ago

  While this process is not terribly complicated it still is unacceptable that you can't just choose any .MP3 file on your phone and simply set it as your ringtone without needing to use any other software.
  It's little things like this that make people willing to recomend an OS to other people. This does NOT make people say "you really should get a  Windows Phone".

  I was just watching it from the streaming Silverlight player.
  I just tried it again and it's still that way.

  @dentaku: what version are you watching? When I was doing the show notes I thought I saw that too (in the High WMV version), but also thought that maybe I was just seeing things.

  I stopped it, refreshed and started it again, jumping to where I left off and it seemed to be fine at that point, so didn't say anything...

  If others are seeing it to then maybe I wasn't having a brain cramp...

  I wonder why the audio and video are out of sync?

  I've never watched Star Wars either. I once saw a chunk of what I believe was Return of the Jedi on TV dubbed in French MANY years ago but I've never felt compelled to watch an entire movie.
  
  Star TREK on the other hand, I've watched allot

  I'd love to try one of those Iconia dual touchscreen machines for creating custom MIDI or OSC interfaces with http://www.gesturespark.com/ or Usine Pro.

  I want Pete Brown to be on your show and talk about Commodore 64s
  I've owned a VIC-20, C=64 and an Amiga 500.

  I've heard that the reason for points vs. cents is that people are more likely to buy a bunch of points all at once. This way Mirosoft has to deal with credit card transaction fees much less. It wouldn't be efficient for Microsoft to have to deal with credit card fees every time someone buys a 99cent item.
  
  I believe what iTunes does is to not charge you right away but instead they wait for people to make a bunch of purchases that adds up to a certain amount THEN they charge you for that lot of items OR of you don't buy anything more after a certain amount of time they charge you for that one item anyway.
  
  Retailers don't like credit cards because it ends up eating into their profit. They would much rather deal with real money.

  I see that the link to Grantophone doesn't go anywhere. Here's the correct link.

  Most of the Kotsoft software is amazingly fun.
  I see that Grantophone has been updated since the last time I saw it and I'm not he first person who wishes he would add MIDI over WiFi/UDPsupport to it.
  
  I wish C9 would interview some small WP7 developers like Kotsoft.

  The Grantophone interface has some similarities to the Haken Continuum. http://www.hakenaudio.com/Continuum/.

  Pixel TV looks great for something so simple. It kinda like when I used to draw stuff on my old VIC-20 and Commodore 64..

  Yup, the Lenovo Yoga is exactly what I've been waiting for. I'd love to run UsinePro on one of those.
