Real Obnoxious

Jogin.com: "The one application that I try to stay away from more than any other is Real Player ... Real Player, most prominently, is a small application with inferiority complex and delusions of grandeur, not too different from Napoleon. Although Real Player's task is simple and limited to a certain timeframe, Real Player defaults to running at all times, wether its limited functionality is needed or not, and claims a seat for itself in the throne commonly called the systray ... Imagine for a while that you had manipulated the right people, somehow infiltrated Real Inc, and had gotten yourself an important and influential position as an executive there, how would you make the program more obnoxious, more invasive, and less likable to the average user, without making the other executives and directors suspicious?"
