Never underestimate the will power of young consumers. While Helio had said many times over that it’s not possible to load your own ringtones on the Ocean, well they’re dead wrong. A clever member by the name of underscorex1 of HowardForums brought to light how to turn your MP3’s, MIDI or MMF files [...]

This computer mouse has had a bit of modding done to it. One that is not only bizarre, but a bit gross as well.
