Skype is a popular VoIP (Voice over IP) client for Windows, Mac, Linux, and PocketPC. Previously it let you make phone calls to people across the internet for free. You could also pay a small fee to make calls to landline phones/cell phones/international calls. Things have changed though: just a couple days ago Skype announced free SkypeOut through at least the end of this year. That means any calls to anyone in the US or Canada from Skype is FREE.
Now this is all fine and awesome until you realize that there seems to be a bug with SkypeOut. If your external IP address falls between 70.x.x.x through 79.x.x.x, you’re out of luck. For some reason, SkypeOut doesn’t work in these IP ranges. Otherwise if your IP is not within that range, the entire US/Canada phone system is now at your fingertips. Prank call away!

I’m a beta tester for the new Windows Live Mail interface. Normally I use Internet Explorer with it as it’s a Microsoft production and Firefox always displayed a "classic" view (e.g. use IE because we want you to).
Something happened though. I used Firefox. Upon checking my email, Windows Live Mail appeared in it’s normal state--as if I were brows...

It’s an exciting time for us software geeks. Sure, it’s always a good time to play around with and tweak software that everyone already has or is readily available to the public. However, it’s even better when we get to play around with software that isn’t even out yet—software that will soon change the way everyone does things. Software of such magnitude does not enter late beta often.
At this point, Microsoft has a lot of products in mid to late beta. Some of t...
