- Amazon Still Has Previous Generation MacBook Pros for $1644 ★
-
I linked this up two weeks ago, but they’re still in stock, and such a good deal it’s worth linking up again. Amazon has MacBook Pros on sale for $1794, with a $150 rebate that brings the price down to $1644. These aren’t the new ones released October 14, they’re the previous generation. This is the exact configuration model which I bought seven months ago, and on which I’m typing this post — 2.5GHz, 250 GB hard drive, and a matte LED display — except when I bought mine, it cost $2500. If you want to hold on to a MacBook with a matte display, this is the one.

Rogue Amoeba:
The biggest update is that Fission now has built-in iPhone Ringtone saving, using the same method found in our MakeiPhoneRingtone application. With Fission, you can take any audio file in any format (not just AAC), and easily turn it into a ringtone/alarm sound for your iPhone! Just crop it down to 40 seconds or less, then choose “Save as iPhone Ringtone”, and Fission will handle the rest. Your file will be transcoded to AAC if needed, then passed off to iTunes and ready for syncing.
