Real Audio Promoting Flash Video Arcade
I was mildly amused when a pop-up window opened this morning during a routine website visit. Usually I get ticked off when a pop-up window subverts my
Google Toolbar's pop-up blocking feature but I found this one to be humorous so I decided it was ok. Real Audio is promoting an
online video arcade that uses games built in the Macromedia Flash application. I find that funny since Real Audio touts itself as "
The Home of Streaming Media" according to it's own title tag. And it has proprietary video and audio streaming capabilities and it's own file format. Yet they can't develop video games in them so they must use the industry standard (
FLASH). Ahhh, the irony kills me.
