Apple: iPhone and iPod touch Software 1.1.2 is Available Through iTunes

Apple has officially released iPhone and iPod touch Software 1.1.2 through iTunes.

Previously, the Software Update was only available on Apple Download server, during iPhone launch in the UK and Germany.

How to add your own custom made ringtones to the iPhone:

  • You need iTunes 7.5 and iPhone Software 1.1.2
  • Encode the file into 128kbps AAC, smaller file size is preferred. I use GarageBand to edit and convert the audio file.
  • Rename the file extension from “.m4a” to “.m4r”; for Mac OS X “Get Info” the file, then change the extension name there.
  • Add the now “.m4r” file into iTunes, preferably have iTunes to copy the files into the library.
  • Connect your iPhone, go to the “Ringtones” tab, and check the ringtones you want to send to the iPhone.

When the boys steal the list that rates cutest to ugliest from the girls, they aren’t really prepared to deal with the results. The boys are about to discover how manipulative and psychotic little girls can be.

South Park Season 11 Episode 14 on:

  • iTunes Store – UNCENSORED (available on Saturday – November 17th, 2007)
  • Amazon Unbox (available on Saturday – November 17th, 2007)

South Park Studios and Comedy Central would like to remind you if you are looking for South Park episode, you can get it at iTunes Store or Amazon Unbox instead of downloading the AVI or RM files off torrents from site likes mrtwig.net. Another reminder from the Good Ol’ Comedy Central that asks everyone to stay away from southparkfiles.com, because southparkfiles.com has every single South Park episode made available in one form or another.
Remember downloading TV episodes off torrents is generally frowned upon by the TV networks. It’d be very very very wrong to download South Park episodes off torrent sites such as mrtwig.net where you can find high quality South Park episodes in AVI and RM. Please forget that you can find high quality South Park episode links at mrtwig.net because Comedy Central would like you to purchase them.

South Park – The Complete Tenth Season

South Park Season 10 DVD

The tenth season of South Park includes the instant classic and Emmy Winning “Make Love, Not Warcraft” – one of the most ridiculous South Park episodes ever.
