Here's a privacy tip that I thought it would be useful to pass on. Most everyone knows that RealAudio has been a bit of a bad corporate citizen in collecting private data on RealPlayer users. Rather than worrying about what they are doing, go to the BBC Web site and download the version that they offer.
Because of English privacy laws and the BBC's clout they managed to get a version of RealPlayer without all the privacy-compromising features (no phoning home). So you still get the benefits of using the basic player without worrying about them tracking what you see or where you go.
