Folks,
Have a look at this:

I've installed a BBC widget, and instead I'm getting that logo.
I have Real Player installed, so what's up?

Cheers,
S.

Just found out it's because the new Intel Macs don't support RealPlayer plugins yet. Or rather, RealPlayer haven't got their ass in gear to write a Intel-compatible plugin...

RealPlayer aren't the only ones. Transition to Intel will take about a year I'd say. The problem is not only the programmers, but Apple, bringing out Intel based macs half a year before they said.
