With Mobile17 you can create ringtones from your own music files. Where ringtone providers will charge you an arm and a leg, Mobile17 lets you upload an mp3/wav of your favorite song, then pick a clip out of the song. It then sends you the file, through a picture e-mail or something similar where you can select it to play as a ringtone. They claim to be compatible with over 95% of available cell phones so chances are you won’t have a problem being able to upload and create your own free ringtones. The wait time can be over 2 hours, but if you donate some money they will give you ‘Express’ credits, or you could always buy a subscription. I’ve used them successfully multiple times and the quality is great, just thought I’d give them some props.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD.N: Quote, Profile, Research) on Sunday unveiled its first computer brand, aimed at small and medium-sized businesses, with design and sales help from its major chip customers such as Dell Inc.
AMD is well in it’s way to overtake Intel. Can’t wait to see what else they will roll out in the future.

If you need a problem with Ubuntu fixed right away, you should go to the official IRC chat room on Freenode. There is tons of people that are more than willing to help if you have a legitimate question to ask. Here is a list of their servers taken from Freenode.net:
| Asia/Pacific Rim
Taoyuan, TW |
chat.ap.freenode.net
tolkien.freenode.net |

| Australia
Brisbane, AU |

After you are logged in, type /nick YourName and then /join #ubuntu - You may have to register your nickname on the Freenode servers (#ubuntu requires this), so type /msg NickServ Register YourPassword - If the name isn’t already taken you will have successfully registered your name and will be able to start chatting and asking for help with your problem.
Firefox users should look into ChatZilla. Or to connect to the Freenode IRC servers through your browser, use their web based Java Client.
If you’re getting the error message; "Undefined video mode number - Press Enter to see more or space to continue" when you boot up, I just found a quick fix for it while trying to patch the same problem on my machine. This will only work if you’re using the grub loader found in distributions such as Ubuntu.
Ubuntu users, open up a Terminal window and type:
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Scroll to the bottom and you will find something that says vga=791 or some other number. Replace both instances of vga=791 (or whatever it says) to vga=normal.
Please note: The latest beta version of Ubuntu may have a revised version of menu.lst - There will be more instances of the vga=, just change all of them to vga=normal. This still worked for me because my bootloader stopped showing up. I have not seen any negative side effects from doing this, so if you know any please leave a comment.
Save the file and reboot. This should hopefully fix the problem! (If it does not please leave a comment with the problem and I’ll try and find your solution.) Please bookmark this article at your favorite social bookmark website(s) so other people can benefit from this information.
