“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 17 – Radioshift
This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Heather.
On the Seventeenth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) Your very own copy of Radioshift from the good folks at Rogue Amoeba!
Like a personal video recorder (PVR) for radio, Radioshift enables 1000’s of internet and AM/FM radio stations to be recorded automatically and listened to at any time.
Radioshift 1.5 brings support for thousands of web streams previously only available via web players, including some of the world’s most popular stations. The built-in Radio Guide makes it a snap to subscribe to programs with a single click. Radioshift then runs in the background, recording and saving audio automatically. Over 100,000 programs and stations from around the world are right at your fingertips with the built-in Radio Guide. And with Radioshift, streams from many different audio formats are all accessible in one convenient player, including the Windows Media, QuickTime, MP3 and RealAudio formats!
To enter: Since Radioshift is all about time shifting, leave us a comment telling us If you had the ability to travel through time, what would you do? (Yeah yeah, we’d all kill Hitler, but what next?) Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!
I would travel back in time to February of last year and redo my life up to this point, just to see how things would turn out differently. Depending on how happy I am with that reality over this one, I would either stay there, in the Time Travel 2010, or travel back to this 2010.
Gah, time travel hurts my head.
I’d travel back to a time where no human existed, just to see how much we fucked up this earth…
I’d time-travel to yesterday to fix my screw-ups.
Something about investing in certain stocks, and maybe take care of the crappy company that is known as microsoft.
Buy Apple shares just after Steve came back to rule!
go back and get a copy of that pocket sized Sports Almanac before Biff gets his hands on it.
oh, and buy more APPL at $10 than I originally did
Visit the future and get my hands on some futuristic apple tech.
I’d grab a notebook and note the lottery numbers.
Lottery numbers.
I would take an iphone, a mac, an HDTV, a PS3, and a Mercedes-Benz S-Class back to the beginning of the 1900’s and show them off to the smartest scientists. Then I would come back to the present and see how technically advanced the world becomes because of these “early” inventions…
I would definitely go back to fix some of my idiotic mistakes and choices. Maybe even see how my life would have turned out if I did not marry (I do love my wife!).
If I could go back in time, I’d right some wrongs that I’ve done in life.
I’d go back in time to the 1980’s with my iPhone full of data on all of the technical advances so far and invent the iPhone ;D
That, or invent twitter or facebook!
Go back to when I bought my 20 imac and convince myself to buy 24 imac :)))))
I would go back to kill my father before she married my mother 🙂
On more serious note, I would spend more time with my grandparents. And try to convince my grandfather to quit smoking so he may live longer.
On a less serious note, yeah stocks and lottery numbers…
I’d go to the future, where of course Apple rules the world.
i’m with the majority of the comments, i would specifically go back to myself when i was 17 and convince me to go to an accredited school.
I would travel back to 26 December 1997 and buy as much Apple Stock as possible. On that day, it traded at $3.328 compared with today’s $211.98!!
I’d grabbed the lotery numbers as well!
I’d travel to January 27, 2010 and back to put an end to all of the Apple Tablet/iSlate rumors. Enough already!
I’d just travel back in time to make all around world trip.
back in time I mean something around year 0 🙂
Buy all the land that is now the las vegas strip
I’d go back to prevent a tragedy that caused an untimely death in my family. Once that was taken care of, I’d travel out to Silicon Valley and become friends of Woz and Jobs, and let nature take it’s course!
1 word… Dinosaurs
just a couple of years back. Get the one that got away and buy some interesting stocks on the fly: –> self indulgence & financially set for life. I could go for that!
bet big, win big
Get proof that religion is BS.
He I am time lord, I do the time travel thing all the time! So no big deal for me 🙂
I’d go back to the time when Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak formed Apple, and slim my way into becoming the third partner…
I know there was one already, but I’ll just replace him. All he was to the company was money anyway… :O)
go back and bet on something…
I always wanted to know how the future would be, so I would like to go 50 years into the future and see if I will actually have a pension! 😀
Go see if the coast is under water…
I would use the “Way Back Machine” to meet Jesus Christ in person.
Lottery numbers of course…
See how it all began
I wouldn’t kill HItler, but I would kill Goebbels. NO Goebbels, no Riefenstahl, no Rove, and Democracy would still be alive
I would try to correct my mistakes or change my life completely.
Travel back to the time when apple was looking for seed money and invest heavily!
I would go back to when I was 13 and tell myself how to “NOT” act so nerdy around girls.
Talk to my dad again.
I would go to the future so I can check out what cool Apple products they have!
I’d change a few personal things in my past, and then take credit for creating the internet.
I would travel forward in time to the point where live spans have exceeded all of our expectations and then bring back the vitamins and ways to keep Mr. Jobs’ creativity around for a really long time.
Go back to same school dance Marty McFly went to in Back to the Future.
I will not travel back… I will go to the future. take a look on how the mankind has survived. then take results with me back and try make it better.
In the end it will go as it always goes in films and we will be fucked.
I’d tell myself to stay away from certain females…haha!!!
Go back to c. 1975 and convince myself to do a PhD, learn to play a musical instrument, and to avoid religious women at all costs.
I would go to the future so I can see what happens with the humanity.
