Wolfram for Your Cell

Wolfram Research, home of Mathematica and math nerd Stephen Wolfram, is hoping to cash in on the 2-bucks-for-a-ringtone market with WolframTones. However, their ringtones are cool.

The site uses algorithms from some of Wolfram's work to generate, at the click of a mouse, a wholly unique ringtone. You tell it to make something that sounds vaguely like a piano, or something roughly hip-hoppish, or whatever, and it spits out 30 secs of new music with 4 variations. If you like what you hear, pony up 2 bucks. If not, click again. Surprisingly, the results sound better than a lot of electronic musicians we know. We clicked and clicked for an hour this morning and encourage you to do the same.
