The big news this month is that Microsoft is buying Skype. That’s bad news for me, as I replaced my old-fashioned landline with Skype years ago. While I was already using it mostly on my Windows machine, I did also occasionally make Skype calls from my Mac laptop and my iPad. Skype was already somewhat indifferent in their support of Apple OSes (they never did release an iPad-specific version), and we can expect that to get worse or be dropped entirely once the purchase goes through. We can also expect them to ruin the Windows version with thousands of “features” that nobody wants.
