Real Launches New Player, Music Store
kforeman writes "You may have heard Real's
many announcements today, including the release of RealPlayer 10
with vastly improved codecs, as well as our new Music Store. As a
result of the player engine being developed in the Helix
community, we're able to offer the benefits of the new RealAudio
and RealVideo in
in the Helix Player for Linux. We read Slashdot here at Real, especially when the
subject of our company or technology comes up, so we know some of you
may not have liked recent versions of our player. This release
represents a much friendlier direction for us; more options that were
'opt-out' are now 'opt-in'. In developing RealVideo 10,
our codec team has been working closely with the Doom9 community, and
has been posting
updates to that forum (look for references to RV9-EHQ). The tests
that have been performed by that community show RealVideo doing
quite well against the competition." There's a CNET News article discussing the announcements, including the jukebox's ability to play "secure downloads from the iTunes store", for those looking for another point of view.

Real Networks can kiss my hairy, GNU-loving ass. They can lick the clingy shit off there too, if they are so inclined.
Real Networks is the worst example of a bad company dying too slowly.

Suck it Slashdot!
Real can suck a dick. I hate those slimeballs. Remember these are the people that treat your personal information like you treat the hooker under the Longfellow Bridge.
is wil wheaton's account of dealing with Real and getting a refund from them. That's just hilarious!
Since when is Slashdot masquerading ads as stories?
I hate people like you... you sick fuck.
It really is a link to wil weaton's website. Please give ChrisN79's karma a good what for.
Since the GNAA includes a free movie. :-)
hand your pasty-white ass over to the GNAA.
G-d damn you're a fucktard.
We, we, we? Who are you? Who compromises the "we"??
kforeman likely works for real networks.
TW, I was unable to see the helix website because my browser said the security certificate did not match the name of who it was granted to.
Either you are using a broken browser such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer, or you have neglected the "Accept once" button. I suggest you learn how to better use your internet browser before you complain about things you cannot possibly understand.
As for the "spyware", I suggest you create a new user account, and make a chroot'd install of Real Player, and find out. It has been my experience that there are few "spyware" programs for the platforms I use. Perhaps your platform has these issues - if you are indeed using Microsoft Windows, then perhaps it is not the programs you have installed upon it, but rather, the operating system its self.
Not to be a flame or anything, but please, RTFM!
