[LINK] Skype and VoIP

[Ivan Trundle]

Obviously not ready for prime-time stuff. My household experienced a  
brown-out and then a black-out last night, and upon recovery, Skype  
wouldn't login. I thought that it might have been related, until I  
read this:

"UPDATED 14:02 GMT: Some of you may be having problems logging into  
Skype. Our engineering team has determined that it’s a software  
issue. We expect this to be resolved within 12 to 24 hours.  
Meanwhile, you can simply leave your Skype client running and as soon  
as the issue is resolved, you will be logged in. We apologize for the  
inconvenience.
Additionally, downloads of Skype have been temporarily disabled. We  
will make downloads available again as quickly as possible."

Notably, the stock price of eBay went down on this announcement  
(i.e., it's serious - eBay owns Skype).

(I updated my Skype yesterday with a new beta - what a big snafu.)
