It's a wunder-ful day: win a copy of Wunder Radio 1.6

It's a wunder-ful day: win a copy of Wunder Radio 1.6

Filed under: , , ,

We've had lots of giveaway goodness going on at TUAW lately. We had the MacHeist bundle giveaway, and now we're giving away 20 copies of Wunder Radio 1.6 (click opens iTunes).

Wunder Radio is from the smart folks at Weather Underground, and it's an impressive app for listening to over 30,000 radio stations worldwide. The new version 1.6 has a new, more aesthetic design, and an internal web browser has been added for surfing while you're soaking up the tunes. Wunder Radio is now localized in Spanish, German, Italian, French, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Brazilian Portugese.

Despite the global reach of Wunder Radio, our contest is limited to readers from the US (sorry, promo codes only work in the US). Read the rules below for details, and good luck.
  • Open to legal US residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 and older.
  • To enter leave a comment telling us which radio station you want to listen to using Wunder Radio.
  • The comment must be left before April 8, 5:00PM Eastern Time.
  • You may enter only once.
  • Twenty winners will be selected in a random drawing.
  • Prize: one license code for Wunder Radio ($5.99 value)
  • Click Here for complete Official Rules.

Channel Four on Demand: Sorry, Mac users

Filed under: , , , ,


Mac users in the UK have been waiting a long time (like, years) for Channel 4's Video on Demand "Catch Up" service to come to their platform, and finally, after long last, the day is here. And they're sorry, Mac users -- they say so with the cute video above. Of course, the reason why it's now compatible is because it's the Flash-based web version linked above, and not actually the desktop app that Windows users had. But late and web-based is still better than never, right? Right?

At any rate, it's nice to know they care enough to make a funny video. The site features Channel 4 content for up to 30 days after broadcast, so if you happen to miss Hollyoaks, Skins, or Fat Pets (I'm just kidding -- being an ignorant American, I have no idea what those shows are or if they're any good), there's your chance to catch up.

New Xserve

As expected in our previous news when the AppleStore was closed, Apple released the new Nehalem-based Xserve.

Models are available in 4 or 8 core CPU as for the Mac Pro. As we were reporting it earlier, Apple offers the option to have 128 GB SSD as storage unit. The PSU is tagged as 80 + Gold, with an expected yield of 89%, top notch figures.

However, there is something strange. Apple announces 12 memory slots for a maximal capacity of 12 GB for the single CPU model and 24 GB for Dual CPU model. This is really low RAM level for a server. Even if you select the 4 GB RAM modules option, you can not take more than 6 modules... this is weird, we need to find out if there is a typo or something very limiting for those new Xserve.
