	Skype - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Skype communications system is notable for its broad range of features, including free voice and video conferencing, and its ability to use peer to peer (decentralized) technology to overcome common firewall and NAT problems.
		Since the Skype code is proprietary and closed source, the security of the software cannot be firmly established by independent experts; thus, its users — experts and non-experts alike — may base their usage of the product on merely trusting the manufacturer and behaviour of the software downloaded from sources authorized by the manufacturer.
		Skype claims that the proprietary session establishment protocol is efficient and prevents both man-in-the-middle and replay attacks.

	LLT vol9num3: Emerging Technologies Skype and Podcasting: Disruptive Technologies for Language Learning
		Both Skype and podcasting can be considered "disruptive technologies" in that they allow for new and different ways of doing familiar tasks, and in the process, may threaten traditional industries.
		Skype and podcasting have had a political aspect to their embrace by early adopters -- a way of democratizing institutions -- but as they reach the mainstream, that is likely to become less important than the low cost and convenience the technologies offer.
		Skype has initiated a new service called SkypeIn, which allows Skype users to purchase a phone number (available only in selected countries), allowing them to receive calls from non-Skype users calling on a regular telephone.

		An attacker who constructs a Skype URL that is malformed in aspecific way can initiate the transfer of a single named file from one Skype user to another, provided that the sender follows the malicious link and that the recipient has previously authorized the sender.

	Skype \| Musings
		Skype uses port 80 (http) and port 443 (https), which are almost never blocked by even the most assiduous of firewalls.
		Skype’s P2P nature (even the user-directory is decentralized) obviates the need for centralized servers.
		Skype has rocketed to the top of the VoIP heap because no one else had offered anything nearly as easy to set up, as high in audio-quality and as cheap to use.

	Skype - voip-info.org
		The entire Skype model is an insult to the VoIP community, as it's completely prorietary and not based on a well defined standard.
		Skype bases its origins in Kazaa and Kazaa's marketing/business model, which means, they will get 50% of the internet hooked up on it, then start charging an arm and a leg to get hooked into it.
		Skype looks much better if you consider the voice quality, thanks also to the fact that now we have faster connections.

	freshmeat.net: Project details for Skype (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Yes, there is Skype 2.x for Windos already and this beta is buggy (perhaps that's why it's called so?) e.g.
		Skype technology is great and the free P2P portion is also excellent, but their well hidden "Skypepout" expiration policy is a total ripoff.
		Skype doesn't support ALSA sound system, which has been in Linux for years.

		Skype is a personal service: you can bring it with you wherever you are.

	Skype 1.5.0.77 - VersionTracker
		Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA.
		Just like KaZaA, Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users – not to share files this time, but to talk and chat with your friends.
		In the previous video version of Skype we found it very buggy, CPU intensive with an unusable audio time delay.

	O'Reilly Network -- What Is Skype
		Skype calls itself "free Internet telephony that just works," but it's much more than that, even if the company plays coy about all that Skype can do.
		Skype works on a decentralized model, meaning there are no big phone switches and controlling computers in regional data centers, such as those that power Vonage and other broadband phone service providers.
		Skype fans, every bit as rabid as early Macintosh fans, spread the word 25 million times that Skype was a hip and free method of talking to friends anywhere in the world.

		The Skype test call I made played back fine, but calls to my sister to her landline and cellphone from NY to FL -- all she heard was my garbled voice, although I heard her fine.
		My impression is that the video preview is more in an alpha stage, but Skype is in a hurry to get it out because Mac market now has many options since iChat will do video with.mac, AIM and jabber networks.

		The biggest downside to the system, however, seems to be the 15-foot limit of USB 2.0 connections, which should be fine for something like an Internet cafe but probably not the best option if you're looking to trick out every room in your house with its own thin client.[Thanks, David]...
		But apparently Skype doesn't like to play nice with SIP phones or any other kind of VoIP, which is a real shame because there's such a great marketing opportunity here -- they could call it SIPpe, like "sippy", as in the cup.
		The 128 x 64 blue LCD was said to be "responsive" to commands, and the 2.5 hours of talk time should be plenty for all but the lengthiest chats.
