Looks like Real has reverse-engineered its way on to the iPod.  Man, I'm torn.

On one hand, I've got to give respek to them for exercising what should be their natural right to reverse-engineer, but man, their software stinks in general.  If it weren't for the fact that so many streaming sites use them, I'd NEVER use their player again.

Well Dave, what in the world ever made you think this was *not* going to be nails-against-the-chalkboard boring?   Its a massive, totally orchestrated press release!

Well, the convention has started. It's boring beyond belief. It can only get better. Everyone on the floor is mulling around, chatting. Can't understand what the speakers are saying. It sounds like this: blah blah blah John Kerry blah blah Kerry Edwards blah blah values blah blah John Kerry blah blah blah. There's a din in the room. I had to go get a Dunkin Donuts iced coffee to stay away. Zzzzz. Blah blah K-E-R-R-Y blah blah Kerry Edwards and you. Thank you. [Scripting News]
