In the immortal words of Bill O’Reilly, SHUT UP! Rob Glaser should just get out of business while he can and go promote something dumb… like world bowling league. The dude has not clue about nothin. Why the rant? Well turn to Business 2.0’s Dumbest Moment of the Week.
We’ll make it up in volume. RealNetworks claimed victory after its $2 million half-off music sale vaulted it to the No. 2 spot in online music sales. The dumb part: It sold two-thirds fewer songs at 49 cents than Apple sold at 99 cents. As CEO Rob Glaser said, “This is no different from how physical music stores work.” Except for the making money part.

Honestly, what’s wrong with simply creating a clean, high quality, low-fat audio/video player that doesn’t suck, while running a tight, small ship with limited employees?
Does everyone have to get into the MP3 business and pack their software with bloated crap while making 80,000 marketing deals that don’t hold water?
Is Real VoIP service next?

Rob’s a genius and his blood runs thick with Microsoft DNA. Perhaps that’s the problem.
