However  a Channel on UStream also claims to provide live video streaming of the event, but it’s not a verified link. You can also get constant updates by following hashtags like #WWDC2011 and #WWDC. In spite of this, we will be also covering updates via our Twitter accounts @cietro and @TechCline.

The story came as quite surprising as the total cash Microsoft having is $32.6 billion in tangible assets and Nokia’s worth is around $32 billion. In case Microsoft goes for this deal, at least more than $32 billion would be require to windup the deal.

Just few days ago Microsoft closed the deal of $8.5 billion with SKYPE to acquire the company. Microsoft is willing to use SKYPE to achieve big targets including using the community of 170 million active users (SKYPE) for its strong existence in Smart Phone technology. Microsoft also said, the integration of SKYPE will not be limited but will be available across Xbox Live, Windows Phone and other devices and systems. However Microsoft also promised to provide SKYPE on non-Microsoft platforms as well.

In addition to this, few months ago Microsoft also had a successful deal with Nokia to launch Nokia smartphones running Windows Platform. The devices are not rolled out yet, but will be available in market soon. In short Microsoft got itself a great deal.

After all this huge investments and deals, if Microsoft is still willing to acquire mobile unit is quite risky in terms of finance. Now few questions are worthy to ask here.

Nokia is the king in the mobile industry, and not just limited to manufacturing smartphones but also low and mid price GSM phones also known as disposable phones. Due to this reason Nokia is the most trustworthy brand for 3^rd world Countries and South Asian Countries. In case Nokia get itself a deal with Microsoft, the first preference for Microsoft will be to focus on smartphones running windows platform. So it might take down the crown from Nokia if the shipment of low and mid range phones gets affected.

This deal will not only affect its relations with other companies but also HTC, one of the most important partners for Microsoft for manufacturing Windows running phones.

Furthermore, this story came up when Nokia just announced to re-brand its services and change the name from Ovi to Nokia for all services working under Ovi name.

In this step to step guide, I will be guiding you to make a custom ringtone out of your favorite music track.

To get start you will be needing iTunes, the software which is essential for your iPhone and Computer connectivity. If you don’t have the iTunes, you can get the latest copy of it from the link given below

8. Now you should be able to see file extension as “m4a” with the file name. Now change the file extension by renaming the file. Change extension to “m4r” instead of “m4a”.
