“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!
go into the future and make sure I don’t f*** my life up.
I would go back and get a different degree.
I’d go back 15 minutes so I’d have more time to decide where I’d go back too.
Back to a day before a stock market crash 🙂
I’d travel back in time to the early 60’s just to see Miles Davis perform on stage for just one time.
I’d actually go to the future and buy a sports almanac
There are more then a few moments I would like to have a second shot at.
In the present I would punch Steve Ballmer in the face, then travel back to that moment, and help myself punch Steve Ballmer in the face, and then travel back to that moment and help myself help myself punch Steve Ballmer in the face… I think you get where this is going.
Lotter numbers, stock, etc
Stand on the Berlin wall the night of 9 November, 1989.
I would travel back to January 1st, 1984 so that I could see the next two years of the some of the best movies ever made, along with catching the beginning of the Marvel / Sunbow wave.
I would have to buy Apple stock at $6/share and sell it today.
Id spy on my girls when they where babies. I miss that stage.
powerball Lottery numbers
I would have called in sick today.
I’d either go back in time and eat breakfast, or I’d make some different decisions in my recording studio.
Back to the future style, give my younger self a sports almanac.
I’d go to the 50’s with my MacBook Pro and do cool stuff on my computer, the machines of that time couldn’t do. And watch some black’n’white tv. 😀
go back to this morning and call in sick to work.
go back and tell myself what to pass and not pass on for sure and those 3 chicks the night before I got married should have done it./
well I’d skip all the cold, crappy, rainy days for a start
i would go back and open a savings account in my name and then it would grow and grow till i was rich when i get back, i would also go back and some how get there to be dinosaurs, kinda like nanosaur
First get the lottery numbers, then the Elizabethan era and back.
Probably nothing, because anything I did would drastically change the future. Time travel is complicated.
Go to Jesus time fot meet him xD
Go back and make sure my “Family” were more than “Cornbread Aristocrats.” Fix the 3 hiccups in life. Buy large quantities of Apple stock before it went public. Fix or minimize the devastation of “Katrina” so that my ancestral home of New Orleans would not be destroyed as well as large numbers of “my” entire family.
Go back to the beginning.
I would go 1000 years into the future, just to see how humans have evolved, or see if we still exist!
I can think of loads of silly insignificant thinks that I would just like to go back and do e.g. watch Star Wars IV: A New Hope on release day, but if I’m honest I think I’d go back to school, I was always the kid that had the ability to do much better than I actually did, and never really tried any harder than I had to…mistake!
go back to the 70s and buy stock
I think I’d like to just go back a little ways to fix a small mistake. Not take huge leaps one way or another, just a galaxy quest kind of thing where you can just fix on small mistake or decision. Now, on the huge time scale, I’d like to see the future and how far we can come as a species. Hopefully for the better.
Buy two of every Newton model, one to play with and the other to keep in pristine unopened condition.
I’d travel to 1982, when Apple stock was at its lowest, and spend my life savings on it. Yeah, I’d probably just use all the profits just to buy more Apple products, but it’d be worth it!
I’d go back to high school and smack my younger self upside the head…and tell myself to hit the freaking books lazy bastard….then give myself the iPhone and of course Grey’s Sports Almanac…
I would go into the future and make myself immortal … than I’ll go and meet some aliens … and finally I’ll go and direct my life to be a bit better 😛
see the beatles live
I would Go back and make sure Steve Jobs had Children that would Continue the innovations we see in apple long beyond our life time
I’d do whatever I want and if I have troubles, I’d travel back in time =)
Easy. First trip, go back to the early 1800s and deposit a few bucks in an interest-bearing bank account. Then, zoom up to the late 80s, withdraw the money and use it pay The Police to never break up!
I’d go back to high school and give myself the ass kicking I so richly deserved.
I’d take my MacBook and every single piece of technology I could take and I take it to the past to my ancestors to start Steve Jobs’ work 🙂
Then I’d have everything: money, Macs everything and in the end I’ll be CEO!
Go back to 1985 and buy AAPL
I would go back in time on 2004 when I met these twins at the bar who asked me to hang-out and I said no I am here with someone, not my girl friend just a friend who is a girl (*ock blocker). I would like to go back and save the world or something but really twins, hot twins!! Gees what was I thinking? Or just go back and kick my self right in the head (repeatedly). Then my future self would hang with the twins with my iPhone taken pictures all night (Click Click).
😉
I would try to fix my mistakes.
After killing Hitler, i changed, äehh would change my name to Chuck Norris, taking lessons in karate, win the World Championchips a few times and then start counting to the infinity… twice.
If I ever really finish that plan.. hmm.. introducing the iPhone before Jobs can 😉
I want back all the time I spent reading these comments.
I think I’d just site-see a lot. And maybe see a genuine Midsummer Eve or Winter Solstice celebration. And find out who created Stonehenge.
Oooh, and the future! I want to see if they come up with some way to teleport instantly from place to place, and if there’s a device for that, I want to buy it.
Thank you for the giveaway!
