Helix Player and RealPlayer 10 Released

kforeman writes "The RealPlayer 10 for Linux and its underlying 100% open source Helix Player are now both finalized. The RealPlayer 10 for Linux has many new features including a Mozilla plug-in, so you can now enjoy all those embedded media clips, as well as the latest RealAudio 10, RealVideo 10, MP3, Flash, and Ogg Vorbis and Theora support. The Helix Player is 100% open source, (now including the GPL!) and includes support for SMIL 2.0 and open source codecs Ogg Vorbis and Theora. Our goal is to make the Linux desktop a first class citizen and we think today's releases are a good first step in that direction."

Not to worry; when Diebold and other voting-equipment companies re-elect Dubya as promised, you can bet that one of the main items on the agenda will be finally extending the blessings of US law to the rest of the planet.

(Oooh - Flamebait. I haven't got that rating for weeks. ;-)
