And they can be a helpful aural cue to alert you to exactly who is calling. Yet, for some reason, the iPhone--the undisputed king of all smart phones--is limited in terms of ringtones. You can use either the small default selection that comes on the phone or purchase tracks from the iTunes store to convert for 99 cents each. If you're looking for ringtone variety, that's an awfully expensive way to go. http://www.itworld.com/hardware/85694/iphone-ringtone-roundup#comments Hardware Software News Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:39:56 -0500 ITworld staff 85694 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/it-managementstrategy/85692/microsoft-technology-reduces-network-redundancy Researchers at Microsoft Research India have developed a compression and redundancy elimination technology that can operate as a host service in enterprise systems without the use of accelerator devices over a WAN. http://www.itworld.com/it-managementstrategy/85692/microsoft-technology-reduces-network-redundancy#comments IT management/strategy Networking News Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:10:08 -0500 ITworld staff 85692 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/windows/85689/will-chrome-os-lead-more-powerful-win7-netbooks Chrome OS may lead to higher-performance netbooks, but many of them will not be running Google's next-generation operating system. http://www.itworld.com/windows/85689/will-chrome-os-lead-more-powerful-win7-netbooks#comments Operating systems Software Windows News Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:10:07 -0500 ITworld staff 85689 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/open-source/85687/underwhelmed-by-chrome-os-thats-kinda-point When Google unveiled its open source Chrome OS on Thursday, many commentators were quick to dismiss the new operating system as unimpressive and underwhelming. Citing everything from the browser interface that represents the entirety of the user experience to its limited hardware support and inability to install apps or play PC games, early critics have slammed Google's cloud-based OS for being exactly what it is intended to be: lean, fast, and simple. http://www.itworld.com/open-source/85687/underwhelmed-by-chrome-os-thats-kinda-point#comments Open Source Operating systems Software News Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:10:06 -0500 ITworld staff 85687 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/internet/85685/skip-crowds-online-shopping-tips-black-friday You probably already know that many Black Friday bargains are available online too.
