OLN's website has daily video clips, yeah! They appear to be WiMP 9 codec (Windoze Media Player 9).
Microsoft hasn't provided WiMP 9 support for any platform other than Windoze PeeCee's. Thus, any
Linux, Mac, or whatever are outta luck. Perhaps it's for the best. If you "follow the URL's"
backwards from the clip addresses, it appears that the clips are all spyware to some degree, with
the company that OLN uses stating that they provide 'real time demographic data on who's viewing,
including their browser type, connection type, survey's & detailed mailing lists, plus the ability
to restrict any given geographic area's from viewing.' (paraphrased). I hope they can report how
many non-Windoze viewers they've disappointed.
