With news that the EU is cracking down on sketchy cell phone companies that hawk cell phone wallpapers and ringtones, I realized I hadn't bought or used a custom (or any nonstandard) ringtone in years. I guess I feel like I've outgrown them, but on the other hand, I'm getting a little sick of the few preprogrammed options I have in my phone (and don't even get me started on how our whole office has the same standard BlackBerry ringtone. We've begun making up lyrics).
But now I'm out of the ringtone game. Do I buy one? Spend time making one? Do I pick a song I know, or just a cool sound?
What about you — do you use a custom ringtone, or do you just go with whatever comes programmed on your phone?

Ever think someone totally looks like, well, something not quite human? Totally Looks Like is a website with one goal in mind: To suss out these comparisons.
Brought to you by the same goof troop that brought us I Can Has Cheezburger's Lolcats, they also brought it; with the same take-no-prisoners humor, Totally Looks Like is wickedly funny, and as unflattering and wrong as some comparisons might be, I bet you'd still have to suppress the giggles.

Although I wasn't able to make it to the Superbowl of gaming expos this year, I do have a few reliable sources who have been bringing the gaming noise all week. So rather than sprinkle in news here and there, I thought I'd bring it to you all at once! Whether you're into XBox, PS3, Wii, or your trusty handheld, there's something for everyone. Check out my slideshow and get your E3 gaming fix.
The Rolleiflex Mini Digital Camera is about as vintage geek-meets-modern functionality as you can get. It's a 5-megapixel camera, but it looks its 1920s era German namesake.
I'm thoroughly charmed by the Rolleiflex, especially the up-facing display that lets you shoot without the camera and the hand-lever crank, and how cute it looks around your neck.
But $400 for a 5-MP camera? Is it a justified price for novelty?
Remember a few months ago, when we all got giddy because AT&T hotspots were suppose to be free for iPhone customers? Well that didn't exactly happen, but now (I'm guessing because of iPhone 3G mania), AT&T's free WiFi hotspot access is finally live! If you've got an iPhone, you can now use the WiFi at 17,000 sites around the US, including Starbucks. Use AT&T's hotspot locator to see where the nearest hotspot locations are to you! Forgive me for quoting Celine but, "A new day has come!"
