oh, and while its Beta, i haven't had any crashes or other such things one associates with 'Beta'... it is a pretty quick and snappy app. Please TRY things before you just start go bashing them.
Yes, Real took WAY too long to release this, but hey, its out now, do download it and try it out!
upsides: - full screen playback is smooth - skipping around the file (to different times) is perfectly smooth, snapping there instantly, rather than trying to rebuffer the whole damn file - no ads (at least in the beta) - doesn't try to hijack all your file formats... i actually had to tell Finder to use.RM as a RealOne file extension! - no other crap all over the place, its JUST the RealOne player
USB has more than enough bandwidth for a TV video and audio signal.
I SO want one of these, seeing them just yesterday on their website. A friend's dad just got one for HIS Mac, and loves it, rejoicing in being able to get rid of his TiVo;)
For the people complaining about Tom Bombadil, he wasn't really NEEDED in a movie version. The enigma of Tom is that he represented the *reader*. He was a safety net of sorts for the reader, a character of goodness who could remained unharmed by the evils in Middle-earth, even from Sauron et al.
would be running a phat VNC cvonnection in your home... wireless 10Gb would be even better, wander around with what amounts to a dummy terminal VNCed to some massive tower. I'd like a cluster of Mac towers serving to a TiBook with lots of ram and video ram and most of the other stuff like the HD stripped away, to keep the price down-ish.
has anyone actually tried it under the QT6 public release? I had to uninstall 6 and go back to 5 becuz the previous divx.com plugin did not work.

(Joel is standing by huge array of keyboards, Crow enters, holding sandwich)
Joel: Oh, hiya, Crow... Crow: Oh hi, whatcha doing? Joel: Oh, we were just inspired by the cool New Age music of this movie, so we decided to use the Wall O' Keyboards to make our own great new New Age music, you wanna help? Crow: Sure, uh, what can I do? Joel: Well, I could teach you how to play the keyboards Crow: Will it take long? Joel: No, of course not, come on over here. Here, check this out, okay, put your hand over here. Crow: Okay. Joel: Put your finger down, see? Crow: Like that? (puts finger on a random key, a single note is heard) Oh! Joel: Yeah, you're playing a New Age chord now, okay? Just like Yanni. Alright now, put another finger down. Crow: Okay. (presses another random key, a second note plays with first one, and persists throughout the rest of the scene) Joel: See, now you're playing a Yanni lick, now hold it down for an hour... Crow: Yeah? Joel: Now hold it down...until you get a record contract from Wyndham Hill! Crow: OH, hey cool! Servo, check it out, it's my new New Age Yanni lick! Uh, Joel, hold down my new New Age Yanni lick, I gotta put my sandwich down. Joel: Okay, got it. (holds it) Crow: This music's kind of dull, isn't it? Joel: Yeah, but it's a good way to make a lot of money without a big initial investment. (lights dim, "music" swells, Cambot zooms in on Tom Servo) Tom: (clears throat loudly) Okay... (in laid back DJ voice) And now, "Music From Some Guys In Space." Tonight on "Music From Some Guys In Space," more fine new New Age music and sounds from super-progressive Bay Area New Age keyboardist, Joel Robinson. Joel will be accompanied on the Wall O' Keyboards by veteran minimalist Crow T. Robot. We invite you to sit back and enjoy more repetitive New Age music, as we cruise the spaceways. Come along, fellow travelers, and enjoy "Music...From...Some Guys...In Space.
(Movie sign lights and claxons begin, we can see that Crow has fallen asleep)
Joel: Hey, we got movie sign, you guys! Tom (Shatner voice): It's...Movie Sign...next time...on...Emergency 911! A duck...with an arrow through it's neck... Joel: Tom, you're stuck in Shatner mode! Come on, snap out of it! Crow, wake up!
there is a great Kids In The Hall sketch (#2, episode 218) that deals with superstition and failed businesses, and how such superstitions are really stupid. They blamed the failure of a previous company on the chain letter, not of their crappy product (some kinda crappy flavored gum).
*wets pants* DAMN that looks badass... why does December have to be so far away! Maybe i can go into cryosleep and have scientists wake me up when the world is a better place (when all 3 movies are out in DVD box set)
For a sec, I thought you said GTA3 (Grand Theft Auto 3) there for a sec, and I wondered why dragging old people and cabbies out of their vehicles was relevant. Okay, I gotta go pick up a hooker in my car then mow her down and get my money back!

This is why it is imperative that with like 802.11[a|b] start becoming more prevalent. Net access may be a privilege not a right (for now), but it is becoming more and more necessary to have it in order to function in a technological society. Having a few uber-greedy corps control the access we have to this increasingly-critical medium, is becoming less and less acceptable.

about this player
.RM as a RealOne file extension!
downsides:
The RM format continues to blow
upsides:
- full screen playback is smooth
- skipping around the file (to different times) is perfectly smooth, snapping there instantly, rather than trying to rebuffer the whole damn file
- no ads (at least in the beta)
- doesn't try to hijack all your file formats... i actually had to tell Finder to use
- no other crap all over the place, its JUST the RealOne player

Here is a great analysis of Tom
such cuteness... with such evil... AHH! Confuuused!

Totally agree.
