Skype Edit Meaning

that just works.

Skype is for calling other people on their computers or phones.

Friend: Damn! My phone bills are getting bigger and bigger =/

You: Hey! DL Skype and call via internet! ;)

Friend: Sounds Great :D

You: Yeah, and we can use it as teamspeak too! =)

3.

An excellent program that allows you to have voice chats with your friends for free.

One small flaw,that it turns any and every number written down on the internet into that small grey call bar. And that's pretty annoying if you have to click a link with a string of numbers in it.

I called my friend using Skype.

the antichrist!

skype is another evil company like google. everybody uses it, everybody likes it, everybody gets observed. if you have skype on your computer, it's not your computer anymore but skypes computer. they can see what you write in your chats and they can hear what you say in your calls. they know where you live, the know who you are, they know your interests and if they wanted to fuck you up, they could do it easily.

BUT, skype is also a very handy programm and as long as you dont try shit like h4x1ng the pentagon nothing will happen to you.

slightly schizophrenic guy: oh god... another one lost
