13 Have You Ever Been Caught With Your Ringer On?
As I settled in for the Back to the Mac event yesterday, I made sure to turn off my cell phone ringer, as you do when you head into a movie, presentation, or theater experience. However, a number of other people either forgot, or disregarded this courtesy, as I noticed a lot of ringers, buzzers, and mobile notifications going off while Steve Jobs and co. were on stage. But I wasn't the only one Read more
Just in time for Valentine's Day, now I've heard of everything. If you're still searching for the best ringtone for your phone (and weren't swayed by the barks or meows), here's a real torture treat. Download one of 20 animal mating call ringtones from cackling coyotes to chirping crickets.

Just five minutes ago, I was happily typing away when someone's iPhone started ringing and I nearly had a heart attack. Why? Because the ringtone was the same I used on my iPhone when an ex-boyfriend called me. Even though the relationship wasn't super-serious and has long since ended, the simple ringtone was enough to give me a flash of anxiety. The same thing happened last weekend when a Read more

Like 67 percent of geeksugar readers, I use them occasionally (mostly for humor purposes) but hearing catchy tunes coming from inside my coworker's purse can grind my gears. You can keep things contemporary and hip on the cheap with audiko, a free web service that will allow you to make ringtones out of any songs in your music library or download Read more
This is hilarious. In a recent presidential press conference, someone's cell phone started ringing, and it wasn't your standard "bring bring" but a duck quacking sound. Not even the president of the United States of America is impervious to annoying cell phone ringtones! I don't know what's funnier: the ringtone itself or his reaction?! Let's just hope that the person who was humiliated is Read more

Oh Stephen, you never cease to amaze me with your geeky toys and Dance Dance Revolution Dance-Off competitions. I'm not surprised you've already scooped up a new black iPhone 3G, but you never told me you were such a Sex and the City fan?! I'm actually impressed you've pimped out your phone with such a signature ringtone. . . . the ladies will love it and the men will wish they had an ounce of Read more
The condition whereby you fly into a frenzy to find your ringing cell phone, only to find that it has not, in fact, been ringing at all; what you have heard is a phone with your former ringtone. Highly disconcerting. Source Read more
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 Read more
