Russ talks about Real, and gives them a whole load of favourable commentary:
[...] the app is great and the company is really making amends [...]
It's a good product and getting better with every release
Having spent the last few weeks watching a colleague go slowly insane whilst dealing with the media player "state of the art" (and I use those words in an ironic sense), I have nothing but scorn and derision for the crazy fools at Real, who churn out release after release of pustulant, obnoxious sub-standard heinous crap and foist it on an unwilling and unfortunate public, who are forced to lap it up because it's the only well-promoted alternative to that abomination coming from Redmond, the festering turd whose name is Windows Media Player.
Hmm. That could have been a well-balanced and incisive commentary on the state of the media player industry. But wait! You get that too. A rant and incisive commentary? What value for money!
But you'll have to wait until tomorrow, when we'll hopefully publish the results of our descent through the very rings of Dante's Inferno. Or possibly, just a report on the state of media players on various platforms when trying to achieve a relatively simple content delivery task.
Note to self: don't drink so much tea late at night. And read less of the Bile Blog.
