Fring Calls Skype 'Cowards'; Skype Responds

An anonymous reader writes "It seems that Skype and Fring are not getting along so well today. First, Fring made a claim that Skype was blocking Fring and in a subsequent blog post, called Skype 'cowards': 'Now that Fring expanded capacity to support the huge demand for video calling for all users, Skype has blocked us from doing so. They are afraid of open mobile communication. Cowards.' Skype has responded, stating that Fring's misuse of Skype software was damaging their brand and reputation: 'There is no truth to Fring's claims that Skype has blocked it. Fring made the decision to remove Skype functionality on its own.'

    what's wrong with "these seats are reserved for my wife and I" ? Serious question.

    It should be "me," not I. You certainly wouldn't say "That seat is reserved for I." Adding a second person doesn't change that.
    And easy way to know is to substitute "we" or "us" as appropriate. If it's us, use me. If it's we, use I. In this example it would of course be "those seats are reserved for us," so you know you should say me instead of I.

    By the way, if you begin to use it properly be prepared for people to "correct" you.
