GeneralWhy Skype Sucks Today Pin

Over the last few days when I start Skype it pops up a message saying "You MUST ugrgade. This version of Skype will not work after.. " or something to that effect.

So after waiting to the very last possible minute I finally updated.

Now, when you start Skype a SECOND process called SkypeBroweserHost.exe starts. You then get to see rotating ad banner in Skype.

MS ACTAULLY BUILT IE INTO SKYPE FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PUSHING ADS.. Ya, like I'm gonna buy whatever stupid product you're hawking because I saw it on Skype.

I have been tossing around the idea of writing my own Skype replacement... Here goes.. F**K Skype!
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
