RealNetworks Cafe Hold on a second... Okay just spit a chicken pot sticker into the trash, thanks for your patience. So I have a long and sorted history with this establishment. It is fantastic that Real provides a cafeteria. That said, I have just ended a 3 month boycott this month, due to the amount of "vegetarian" food that had been mislabeled. Fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again. My patronage has been going strong for the last 2 weeks, but it looks like I am back in boycott mode after purchasing "Vegetarian Items: Spring Rolls, potstickers" Veg Royalty be advised to bring your court food taster when visiting ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_taster read more

the ambiance in the atrium is zany, bright and fun. the food is consistently predictable. free soda fountain drinks, tea and coffee, with prices of entrees being reasonable. the sandwich and salad bar are always a good choice, but the ethnic choices are hit and miss. the service is good, but once, i saw the bald lunch lady make the mexican lunch lady cry. right in front of me. i felt really guilty asking for mashed potatoes after that. also, from time to time, different lunch ladies will show up with a black eye. other than that, there are 2 ping pong tables, a pool table, and foosball to keep us happy and productive. will i go back? definetly. read more

Dude this sucks! You can't give 0 star ratings. Where to begin? The cafeteria or "Streamer's Cafe" is the worst food I have ever eaten... by far. Anyone remember how bad the Seattle Public School District's lunch program was? It's worse than that. I'm currently boycotting the cafeteria. I believe I'm in month 4 or 5. The reason for the boycott actually has more to do with their pricing then their quality. When I tried to order a whole plate of mac 'n cheese ($1 for a side) I was charged like $8 for actually 2/3 of a plate. The lunch lady (the one that looks like a Denny's cocktail waitress who talks to herself) tried to explain that it was 2 entrees worth and not 3 sides worth - blah blah blah... Whatever! Anyway, the most expensive mac 'n cheese I've ever had sucked (it had undissolved chunks of garlic powder in it). And then I found out that Real Networks subsidizes the cafeteria and that mac 'n cheese was actually something like $12 total!!! What?!? And that's how my boycott began. P.S. Richard is exaggerating. Only the Mexican lunch lady comes to work with black eyes and fat lips. Also, the bald one grew hair now. read more

After subscribing to Real Player+(4-2010) I copied my 150+ CD Library to my laptop's hard disk. I assumed that the additional features offered in Plus would assist me in providing Album Cover Art and CD Info. I quickly discovered that Plus was of no assistance in those two areas. I probably spent about 100 hours copying and finding Album Art and CD Info. I then synced my MP3 player to my music library. I was under the impression that my Plus was a 12 month subscription. Several months later I upgraded to the the newest Real Player version and having not read the small print I lost the Plus features. I now have upgraded to Real Player 16. And when I recently checked my music library I found that I have lost 10% of the Album Art I had to manually supply and about 90% of all the CD Info. I packed all my CD's and stored them since I thought I wasn't going to need them any more. Now I am again looking at a major effort to restore the information I lost, if possible. I see that Plus 16 may assist with Album Art and CD Info but based on my first experience I do not trust RealNetworks subscription policies or the robustness of the features offered in Plus. I feel that the Real Player upgrade process corrupted my music library and now I'm faced with the effort of attempting to restore the Music Library's information. I don't know where to start!!! I had a bad experience with Windows Media Player that is why I chose Real Player. I didn't make a music library to create a full time job for myself. I am frustrated and disappointed that software (free and purchased) is not more fail safe after so many years of development. I hope my review will help others prevent the bad experience I have had with Real Player. read more
