This just in! Linux users now can enjoy the great buffering world of what is RealPlayer. The Helix Community announce that the version 11 of the linux player is now available! That is just fantastic, what this means is for the next couple of days on the Linux blog-o-sphere we will hear nothing but Helix this and Helix that. Fantastic!
Well, what is real player good for anyway? I mean what does it do that MPlayer doesn't? There is only one thing that I can think of and that is DRM. Go to moviemonster / aebn's streaming site and see for your self. You can't stream your porn with MPlayer, well at least not with a little hacking. Anyhow this topic is not about DRM if it were, this Linux blog would probably be more popular among the Linux community because it seems that every body wants to argue about something. Oh yea, and while we are on the topic of media, I want to see a partly open source version of itunes. I mean come on, they have so much freakin' music. Yea yea, I know there is Amazon but still, itunes is undeniably a great media player. Yea it has its quirks and horrible mac user look but its still a good player. So where is the Linux version? I mean Firefox 3 is basically an open source safari browser, so why can't some one make a good clone of itunes?
blah, read about the Helix Player Here:
