Friends finale and NBC Tivo-b0rking --
TiVo Strikes Back

Friends finale and NBC Tivo-b0rking --
TiVo Strikes Back 05/07/2004 10:49 AM
Following up on yesterday's post about NBC's apparent attempts to b0rk potential TiVoers of the Friends finale, BoingBoing reader Douglas Clark says,

I am a loyal Tivo user and Tivo did send out a message alert to users about the Friends episode. It was more along the lines of "if you manually extend the time of a recording, you may miss the beginning of the friends final episode." I find that Tivo is pretty good about catching unusual start times and other wonky tricks the networks play. The previous comment about HUT and ratings was right on the money...

Link to previous BoingBoing post.

Tech maven Meg Hourihan adds, "Even weirder is that I got a message on my Tivo warning me that the finale of Friends would have abnormal times. The message warned that if I wasn't just using the automatic "start on time" and "end on time" settings (i.e. I manually set the start time as 8 PM) that I might miss some. What makes things weirder and worse is that Tivo still didn't record the whole show! I made sure my settings were what the message instructed, and happened to watch the show live. Tivo kicked in to record at 8:59 PM (which is what it listed the start time as) but stopped at 9:59! According to the time on my digital cable box, the program didn't end until 10:03 PM. So if I hadn't watched it live, I would have missed the last four minutes. Seems like a major screw-up on Tivo's part, especially after sending out that message!"

Canadian Copyright Board allows
downloads, copyright levies

Canadian Copyright Board allows
downloads, copyright levies 12/14/2003 12:27 PM

The Copyright Board of Canada issued a ruling on " private copying ", largely via peer-to-peer computing, with several components. First, downloading is acceptable, but uploading is not (presumably to target hyperpirates). Second, new mechanisms for levies were described, freezing current ones, allowing new charges.

the Copyright Board said uploading or distributing copyrighted works online appeared to be prohibited under current Canadian law. However, the country's copyright law does allow making a copy for personal use and does not address the source of that copy or whether the original has to be an authorized or noninfringing version, the board said.

Griffin RoadTrip

Griffin RoadTrip 08/13/2004 09:06 AM

Peripheral maker Griffin has announced the RoadTrip, a multi-function iPod unit that serves as both a cradle, charger, and FM transmitter with digital readout. While it's not the most attractive unit I've ever seen - the faux brushed aluminum and readout is kind of corny - just having a separate interface for the FM transmitter will probably make it a favorite for many iTrip fans who have found FM transmitting to be useful but the iTrip's playlist-based interface lacking. Even cooler, the FM Transmitter can be removed from the cradle and used, via USB, to broadcast sound from any Mac or PC, turning it into a sort of low-powered radio station, or an FM-band Airport Express (without the Wi-Fi).

Griffin iBeam

Griffin iBeam 09/27/2004 09:04 AM

Griffin Technologies has quietly put up the iBeam on their website (without the usual accompanying press release) of a pair of plug-in accessories that add a flashlight and a laser pointer to your iPod or iPod mini. The $20 pair of plugs (you can only use one at a time) come with caps for easy attachment to your keychain. I've no idea how good they are compared to their respective competitors, but I'm all about plugging things into the iPod - that's half the reason they're so great in the first place (and why its so hard for other companies to play catch up).

Griffin PodPod

Griffin PodPod 09/01/2004 09:36 AM

Griffin's new PodPod isn't the first iPod cupholder - Belkin has one, as do others - but I suppose if you want to keep all your iPod accessories Griffin-branded, the new $10 unit is a good choice. It's a hold, for iPod or iPod mini, that fit in a cupholder. That's it.

Well, there's a place for the cords to spill out through the bottom, but still. At least they finally got that name out of the way. I wonder how long they've been sitting on that, trying to think of something to build that would match it.

Griffin EarJams

Griffin EarJams 08/27/2004 01:48 PM

Griffin is selling a set of snap-on covers for the iPod's trademark white earbuds called the 'EarJams,' that convert the headphones into in-ear versions. And although they come with three different sized plugs and a carrying case, pricing them at $20 seems like it might just be expensive enough to encourage people to look for a new set of headphones. I guess Griffin is counting on the cachet of the white earbuds to carry the day (never mind that you can get a set of white Sony in-ears for like $40).

The clever inventors over at Griffin Technology are at it again... EarJams are small converters that make the standard Apple iPod headphones into in-ear headphones. Apple sells in-ear headphones, but they will cost you $40--EarJams come in at $19. Griffin says they sound great, but we will have to wait until our own headphones get converted for the final say.

Griffin RoadTrip US Sale Delayed

Griffin RoadTrip US Sale Delayed 09/15/2004 11:22 AM

Hrm, it looks like Griffin Technology might have run into a few snags with the FCC, as the order page for their new RoadTrip iPod dock is now saying the product is only on sale outside of the US. They've gotten one FM transmitter out the door before, though, so I would imagine this is just a - and I'm so sorry for this, truly - a bump in the road.

Or perhaps there was some confusing with the other RoadTrip FM transmitter that was coming to market at the same time? (Thanks, Matt!)

Griffin Unveils the iTalk, SightLight 01/06/2004 09:19 AM
Griffin Tecnology has unveiled details for the iTalk, a voice recording accessory for the iPod, and the SightLight, a FireWire-based light for the iSight. Besides a stunning design, the iTalk features a built-in microphone design to record sound up to 100 feet away, automatic gain control to adjust recording levels, and a built-in speaker for easy and instant playback. The iTalk will be released in April and will retail for $40. The SightLight is a FireWire-based lighting add-on designed to work with the iSight camera. It slips over the end of the iSight and illuminates the camera's subject to compensate for low-light rooms. It also gives a warmer, more natural appearance to the camera subject. It has 3 settings, on, off, and auto, which automatically adjusts for the amount of light in the room. The SightLight will also retail for $40.

Griffin Microphone Cable for iMic

Griffin Microphone Cable for iMic 08/20/2004 08:05 AM

Griffin has added an XLR-to-miniJack version to it's "GarageBand Cables" lineup. I'm sort of torn on these products (the other one is an 1/8th-inch-to-miniJack cord designed for guitars), as they don't do anything you couldn't do with just a regular audio cable and a converter plug, but they are white, and that has to count for something, right? I haven't seen anybody do any testing of their cords, but if they are as high-quality as I'd expect them to be, $25 isn't out of spec for professional-grade audio cables. And actually, the more I think about it, these compliment GarageBand pretty well; most people that are going to use that program are just noodlers (I include myself in there) and probably don't have a need for multi-purpose cords.

Oh, and what's XLR? It's the three-pin connector that most professional microphones use.

Griffin Technology on Friday announced that it is shipping its iTrip mini, an FM transmitter designed to work with the iPod mini. The US$39.99 device attaches to the top of the iPod mini and enables users to play their music through nearby FM receivers in cars, homes and elsewhere. The iTrip mini can broadcast on any available frequency, and is tuned from the iPod mini itself. It uses no batteries, drawing power from the iPod mini, and powers itself off automatically when not in use. When Griffin first announced the iTrip mini they said it would ship in July, so this news comes a month earlier than expected.
