Microsoft Buys Skype

[gertsy]

Interesting move from Microsoft considering MSN Messenger.  Obviously seeing Skype ain't making too much money it must be for the user base.

LOL the end of the world.  Now Arnie will have to become President of the USA so he can tell us all to "Get in da choppa!"

On reading it looks as though they, MS, are going to set up Skype as a whole new business unit.  Bit different for them.  No borging.

@Kesa: U said the 'C' word u gonna get banned.  Drunk or not...

@KESA  OMG,  SKYNET from the terminator movies, you know the system became self aware on "some date in the past now".  Putting Skype with .NET gives you Sky.NET.  I feel like I'm explaining a Dad joke.  You are pissed and the brain cells are fading mate...

Sounds familar for Aus and UK as well.  Left gets more like the right and right like the left.  The GEC aint Obama's fault, and any politician who isn't trying to please the media and just win another term is better than the alternative.

We've got a PM who got in on a minority vote because of the way our secondary votes work and because the greens sided with her party when she promised them they would introduce a Carbon Tax.  The only reason that minority voted for her was because she was female.  Her party was dead in the water.  But like the western lemmings we are we lapped up the evening media and gave her a go.

You give a side lined soccer player a go, not the potential leader of a country.

And BTW I bet Obama and Gillard use Skype to talk to one another.

PS: Like the way I linked my political commentary into the thread.?  'ja like that ?
