The CNet series of CEO

The CNet series of CEO profiles, mentioned below, looks increasingly like a good idea wasted. In the latest, for example, RealNetworks boss and former Microsoftie Rob Glaser isn't challenged about the fact that so many users hate the invasive way his company's products work. ("Hate hate hate hate. I think Osama Bin Laden created Real Networks to incite chaos and frustration amongst the web-users of the world. Real Networks is surely chaired by Satan," here, is just one of the more extreme examples.) Not that it will matter in the long run. If Real fails, its obituaries will be written mostly by people who will neither know nor care whether Real screwed up. Why bother when it's so easy to blame Microsoft?
