RadioShark Is Vaporware No More

DLWormwood writes "Well, after acquiring a reputation for being 'vaporware of the year' from Wired News, MacCentral is reporting that Griffin Technology's radioSHARK is finally shipping. Now maybe I can finally get some sleep while Dr. Demento is recorded by my Mac late at night..."

Re:Apple Section? Why?

[Anonymous Coward]

At $70 it is a hideously overpriced piece of hardware. Yep, I'd put that in the Apple section.

Where's the innovation?

I've been doing (most of) this for a couple of years with the D-Link DSB-R100 and free software available on the web - recording, scripting, scheduling, pre-sets, just not the "instant pause" a la TIVO. Check it out at http://presslink.dlink.com/pr/?prid=95

Apple Idiots Part 23

[tomwhore]

Once again, something that has been done for years by folks is touted by the CultOfApple as New.

First off, AIFF only? For bogs sake why?

Second off, Radio shows have been pulled off the airwaves and posted as MP3s on various USENET grops for years now to the point that most any show I have heard mentioned here , Demento, Bell, Air America, NPR, CBC, BBC, etc etc are all there for the daily taking.

And in a format that allows me to use it on most any devices I have for audio.

Third off...the hardware to do this has been around for ages on OPEN platforms that allow technology to be created for it rather than forcing innovation into style-over-substance regulations and packing it up in fiesta condom colors.
