What is microsoft going to do with skype?

 

As most of you know by now the giant internet phone provider was bought by Microsoft for a stunning price of 8.5 billion in cash. This kind of money is so much that even Microsoft had to dig into it's off shore accounts to come up with the money. Is it a smart move? No one knows yet but we know why they did it. I can almost guarantee that every person reading this post has a Skype account, and with 600,000 new registration everyday it makes it one of the most popular downloaded program in the world. On the other had Microsoft had seen it's products and sites loose their popularity. Hotmail is not the number one email service anymore and who even looks at the msn page anymore? Even MSN is not as popular as it used to be.

COME ON PlayStation!!!!

As you all know the Play Station 3 network is down and it's not just a glitch or a momentary hiccup, it's a full-fledged meltdown. According to Sony chief spokesperson Patrick Seybold:

"While we are investigating the cause of the Network outage, we wanted to alert you that it may be a full day or two before we're able to get the service completely back up and running."

That promise was made last week and here we are, no network. And Sony's lack of communication with they're customers is becoming more and more pricy. Not only to the millions of credit cards information stored on the network but also to Sony. Some cities law suits are directed toward the tech giant because apparently the crime rates increased since then, and lets not forget about the credit cards information that have been stolen. It's not until this happened that I understood why the Xbox network comes at the coast. Xbox gamers pay for the added security.
