Run Spore Creature Creator Demo on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger

spore 20080623 210730 Run Spore Creature Creator Demo on Mac OS X 10.4.11 TigerEvidently, the only thing keeping some users of Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger from using the Spore Creature Creator Demo is that the application is coded to look for and only accept Mac OS X 10.5.3.

An anonymous user over at Mac OS X Hints has posted instructions on how to easily alter a plist in the game’s package contents to have it check for a slightly older operating system. Voila! Now, as the editor at Mac OS X Hints notes:

System requirements are typically based on features in a given level of the OS, so there may be unknown issues if you use this hint to run the demo on an earlier version of the OS. Maybe this will work for the full version too…

RingtoneFeeder reinvents ringtones for the iPhone

textandlogo 20080428 223732 RingtoneFeeder reinvents ringtones for the iPhoneRingtoneFeeder is a new and innovative approach to ringtones offering a subscription model which automatically installs a new original ringtone on the iPhone via iTunes every week. The earlier a subscription to the service is made, the bigger the collection the subscriber will have. When a ringtone has been released it will not appear in the weekly updates ever again.

 MG 3546 20080428 230054 RingtoneFeeder reinvents ringtones for the iPhoneMy buddy Geoff Smith is the creative genius behind the ringtones at RingtoneFeeder.com. “We are really exited about this new concept and we are confident that the ringtones we are producing will make a positive difference for the millions of iPhone users out there. Unlike traditional ringtones which are often made from extracts of songs or existing sounds, we are producing short songs that are made to be ringtones, they are unique, sometimes even topical and optimized specifically for the iPhones.”

RingtoneFeeder is currently offering two different subscription options. The monthly subscription cost is USD$1.98 or you can opt for a full year at USD$19.98 which both includes instant access to the 5 most recently produced ringtones along with at least one new ringtone usually released every Tuesday and a video tutorial about using RingtoneFeeder services, managing ringtones via Start Playlists in iTunes and syncing with the iPhone.

There is also a free demo feed available so the service can be tried out with no obligations. The free feed contains a few sample ringtones as well as an introduction video and a PDF guide to managing ringtones via iTunes.
