We haven’t heard much from bowling aficionado and RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser since early March when he called Apple “deceptive for not explicitly telling customers that iTunes songs can’t be transferred easily to other devices,” so we thought we’d have some fun in the form of another Glaser photo captioning contest. Despite many calls for more, we haven’t had one since our Bono-Glaser photo caption contest last October.
So what if it’s one of those contests where nobody wins a “real” prize? Who cares! It’s fun anyway. Below is a photo of Rob Glaser, founder and CEO of RealNetworks, Inc. – let’s see what you can do with it!

(thinking to himself) Maybe if I wave my hands around and stare them down, I too can be as convincing as Steve Jobs.
“Our marketshare percentage now equals the same number of chins I have”
MW over, as in, it’s OVER for Real
I… uhh… I want to admit to you… I love my iPod, and… umm… I use Apple’s iTunes Music Store. There’s really nothing better out there.
Real networks is the best online music solution, far ahead of wannabe’s like that Apple iTunes/iPod we have the majority of online customers using our service. and with an 99% market share we are all looking forward to a profitable 3rd quarter.
If you would like to purchae shares they are for sale in the lobby.

No, you don’t get it. Apple does not have signifigant marketshare. Real does. We have displaced Apple in the music world. The Americans have not set foot in Iraq. Saddam is in charge. Real has no spyware. I am not dulusional.
“Dude..I’m so stoned..I got the munchies. Anyone else got the munchies? Whoa….I could eat a whole box of Krispykremes. How big? Oh…I dunno….maybe this big…”

“Developers, Developers, Developers, Developers!”
All the good one’s are taken (donuts, new product sizes etc)… here goes nothin’…
“Ok, so they did an MRI and found the gap between my ears was this big”.
“My footlong sub with everything on it required me to open my mouth sideways… about this much.”
“This was how close we came to taking the iPod market share from Apple.”
“My other notebook computer has a screen this big.”.
“I’m not stopping my cravings for Krispy Kreme’s until my neck is this wide”.
“Steve Jobs’ is in the audience?? Where is he? I’m gonna strangle him!”
“well… um… i forgot what i was gonna say. anyone have an iPod?”
In that moment, Rob noticed Steve in the front row…
“You are getting sleepy… you will buy your music from Real…”
