New Skype Package

Quite frankly, I don’t want to be seen on the phone. The last thing I really need is for the boss to see the empty bottles of Don Julio and ubiquitous red plastic cups stacked behind me when I’m calling in sick. Some people, on the other hand, love to be seen. Assuming they’re Windows users, the latest Skype 4.0  software will be a welcome addition to their telecom collection. The software, already available for download for Windows users, promises to make video calls easier and also allows calls to be viewed full screen–so you better make sure whoever you’re calling has a mug you’d like to chug. Even those with an archaic low-bandwidth connection can get quality video with the help of Skype’s bandwidth manager. Audio is also supposed to be markedly improved courtesy of the new audio engine Silk. [Slippery Brick]
