Microsoft to buy Skype!
 
$8.5 Billion for a service that doesn't actually make any money?

I'm guessing that this may put an end to free service and drive more people into Google chat.

Maybe Jester and I should hurry up and record all the TMNT Commentaries we wanna do before the window of opportunity closes!

Wait...is Microsoft going to turn Skype into a pay service? Bogus!

I don't think that's been announced, but with Microsoft... is it ever really in doubt?

I hope not because I have relatives who use Skype to chat with each other, so that would suck.
