For many people out there, it's important to be an individual and to this end there is a large market for cellular phone ring tones; this particular after market add-on is worth hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Don't dismiss this as just another gimmick because adding these ?extras' are big business as the number of suppliers providing them will confirm. Owing to the popularity of ring tones, manufacturers are quick to create software and hardware to make this installation much easier.
Owing to this surge in popularity devices like the ring tone converter were born to assist with the installation. Converters do more than just transfer the sound file because they also help to download them from sites.
The software to run cellular phones is different with each manufacturer but that is not a problem for ring tone converters. Some older or more basic models may not have a built in programs but it may still be possible for you to use the existing phones music creator. Storing the latest sound file onto your cell phone is becoming easier as we speak with the latest ring tone converters doing away with the need for cables and infrared completely.
Many of the new sounds are actually composed on phones or computers which can then be transmitted to other phones almost immediately. Of course once you have your own ring tone, it is a simple matter to edit and change it at any time. More importantly, creating a cellular phone ring tone is fun and easy to do with the latest sound converters which also have this function.
The craze is so big now that not only have a huge number of web sites set themselves up purely to deal with this but many now have weekly and monthly update plans available to subscribers. Some websites use SMS format where you can download ring tones using a converter, but there are those that merely require the downloading capacity of your phone and nothing more.
The choice is yours, because you can create your own sounds, collect them from others or download them from the internet. All you have to do is check that your phone can use the software supplied and after that whether, it won't matter if it's a new cellular phone ring tone or wallpaper, you probably won't come have any problems.

He Can Remember Anything That Ever Happened To Him

Now, isn't that frightening. Would you want to remember everything that ever happened to you day by day. There's some things you just want to forget.
LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (CNN) -- Give Brad Williams a date, and he can usually tell you not only what he was doing but what world events happened that day. He can do this for almost every day of his life.
Brad Williams has hyperthymestic syndrome, experts say, and remembers what he did on allmost every day of his life.
Williams is one of only three people in the world identified with this off-the-charts autobiographical memory, according to researchers at the University of California-Irvine who gave the condition its name: hyperthymestic syndrome, from the Greek words for excessive (hyper) and remembering (thymesis).
Unlike most people whose memories fade with time, much of Williams' life is etched indelibly in his mind.
"It's just there," said Williams, 51, who reports the news for a family of radio stations in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
The California researchers are studying Williams and the two others with hyperthymestic syndrome, a man in Ohio and woman in California, hoping to gain new insights into how a superior memory works.

Okay, so you may think you have bad neighbors, but after watching this movie trailer,you'll change your mind. No matter how lousy you think you've got it, at least you don't have Samuel L. Jackson as your pissed off, police officer nutcase out to make your life horrendous. Get out the For Sale signs, honey.
Plot Summary: Chris and Lisa move into a new neighborhood. They soon meet their new neighbor Abel played by Samuel L. Jackson, who seems to be a little more involved with the people in his street than the others. He’s an LAPD officer and when they get into an argument, things escalate into something much much bigger.
We sarcastically place this review under Happynomics where the real world meets Pyscho in California.

Pre-Review: Oliver Stone’s film “W” about George W. (pronounced dub-ya)
May 9, 2008 by IM Buzzter

Comments Off
That's right folks, George W. Bush has managed to get Oliver Stone to do a film completely about him! Now is that because he's so good as President or so bad. You decide. Oliver Stone isn't known for doing flattering work on much of anything, so you guess.
The big question: 'Where is George Bush's bedroom?''
Oliver Stone is an extremely controversial filmmaker - in fact, that is a great understatement. Well, he is now flinging open French doors inside an enormous brick mansion in Shreveport, La., inspecting locations for his new film about the 43rd President of the United States. ''This one is too small,'' he says. ''This one looks like George Tenet's bedroom. Where did we decide to put Bush's bedroom? It's around here somewhere, isn't it?''
Shooting for this film begins in less than two weeks. Called just "W" (or dub-ya, as it's spelled out in the initial sketches for the poster), they are racing to recreate the First Family's residence. There will be a 32,000-square-foot soundstage that the production is renting across town where the Oval Office and Cabinet Room sets will be when they arrive from Los Angeles.
The screenplay is still being worked on and has currently gone through two rewrites since an earlier draft was leaked to the press last month. That's right, it was not an April Fool's joke. Stone is actually making this film.
Stone has said of the film: ''It's evolving". Most of the cast has been assembled and outfitted with prosthetic noses and hairpieces — Josh Brolin will play President George W. Bush and Elizabeth Banks will star as Laura Bush. They are still looking for someone to play Vice President Dick Cheney.
For the first time, Stone is turning his cameras not just on a living president but on one who'll still be knocking around the White House when the movie premieres later this year. It is rumored that Stone could end up releasing the film as early as October 2008, at the height of a presidential campaign in which one of the major issues will undoubtedly be the legacy of the guy on the screen.
We will add this to the things that make you go "Hmmmm" and list this "loosely" under the category "A Real World", because we all know anything that involves Hollywood or The White House is just barely existing in the real world.

Review: External Graphics Adapters Review
May 7, 2008 by IM Buzzter
Filed under Upgrade Anything
This external graphics adapter review takes a look at something you don't see much on computers yet - the external graphics adapter. It is actually outside of the computer and just like most external devices, USB graphics adapters will probably soon find a niche amongst folks who travel and need their graphics adapter to go with them. So, without further ado - here's a give USB graphics adapter or External Graphics Adapter review.
Their acronyms are UGA or EVGA respectively, and they are for computers which can't be easily opened or upgraded. That would not be most desktops on the market today. However, if you have a mini-deskop that requires additional display(s) and don't have slots available for installing a second or third graphics card, the EVGA or UGA are a viable option.
According to Joe Darwin, External Graphics Adapter director of marketing states:
"DisplayLink technology enables us to deliver a UGA that is affordable, portable, and easy to use, which dovetails perfectly with EVGA’s strategy of penetrating broader consumer markets. At the same time, we hope that the EVGA UV12 and UV16 will help bring DisplayLink’s exciting USB display technology to a wider mainstream audience."
As this review date they are working on upgrades to their UV Plus family of products and the external graphics adapter will consist of the UV12 and UV16 USB graphics adapters which will both be based on the DisplayLink network display technology previously mentioned. What this will do is enable Windows XP and Vista users to be able to easily connect more than one display to their PC or laptop computer instantaneously via the USB connection. There will be the capability utilizing EVGA technology to hook up to four displays to one computer as long as four UGAs are present.
As of this review, there is no release date for the external graphics adapter but it is on the way with the pricing structure targeted around $65 to $70.
This falls squarely into our category of Upgrade Anything for taking the standard graphics adapter external and thus to the next level of technology.

Is Web 2.0 A Scam?
May 5, 2008 by IM Buzzter
Filed under Trends
Web 2.0 is changing the entire focus of internet surfing. With web 2.0, you are no longer passively reading through pages and clicking to other pages. Instead, you are contributing with each click, modifying search engines with your own vocabulary, helping to improve your own future online experience, and communicating with, sharing with, and teaching others throughout the world. Web 2.0 is still quite new, but it promises to be the next big generation in internet communications.
The phrase “web 2.0” itself is a catch phrase with questionable inherent meaning. O'Reilly Media, working with MediaLive International, initially coined the phrase when naming a series of internet conferences in 2004. Since then, the phrase web 2.0 has been adopted by developers and marketers alike, but some people question whether each use of the word adheres to the original definition, or whether a rigid definition even exists. The expert Tim O’Rielly has said, in effect, that web 2.0 includes all applications, using the internet as a platform, that improve in quality and content as more people use them. To put it more glibly, web 2.0 is “the intelligent web,” where the internet and the collective intelligence combine.
