Boston Globe hates on ringback tones
For some inexplicable reason the Boston Globe has devoted an entire editorial to hating on ringback tones — which are customized audio clips that callers will hear when they dial your number instead of the usual ringing sound. They're already huge in Asia and aren't much more frivolous than regular ringtones, but the Globe worries that people might think they've dialed the wrong number or that people might waste time programming ringback tones into their phone when they should be working or otherwise making meaningful contributions to society. Jeez, lighten up!
