    Even worse, the article says www.skype.com is unavailable. I just went there and it loaded up instantly and completely. Pretty sure the whole thing's bullshit, just someone with an axe to grind.

    Or a routing issue that only affects some customers. Or a geographic load-balance issue where people from a certain area are seeing a broken site.

    (It's working for me from NYC area at the moment.)
