    So when exactly did Real.com go into biosciences? I understand Corporate Expansion into new areas but this is a bit of a strech isn't it???

    Maybe it's like that Sounds of Math article You can listen to the sound that makes you, just don't take the ending that seriously

    Keep trying. You'll get that coveted "+1, funny" moderation some day.

    There's no point in Karma-whoring if you're Karma's already maxed. Mine is. Add the mods, and you'll find that the parent comment to yours started with +2. I also noted that you posted as an anonymous coward. Are you afraid of getting modded down yourself?

    Basically, what's interesting about this is that it's a generalized architecture for any datatype. So, while it's true that there are many MP3 players out there, there's few which are able to handle multiple streams, mixing them with other audio sources, adding in multiple video sources, and hey, throw in some JPEGs, GIFs and Flash while you're at it.

    Blah blah blah, another media player. With a name like that I was expecting an Open Source-based Folding@Home or something like that - which would be great, because I have machines with spare CPU cycles that there aren't Stanford binaries for.

    So you can handle multiple codecs. So can a dozen other players. Move along people, nothing to see here.
