Skype Is Evaluating Adding Typing Suppression Feature

Posted by timothy on from the well-that-sounds-awfully-soviet-of-them dept.

An anonymous reader writes "At a press event in Stockholm, Sweden today, Skype confirmed it is evaluating the addition of a typing suppression feature to its desktop clients that will automatically filter the sound of your fingers hitting the keys. Unfortunately, the Microsoft-owned company isn't ready to ship the functionality yet, despite it being available in the company's enterprise-focused Lync tool."

      No part of a computer 'deals with' a Model M. They are suffered to exist, by its grace; for it was forged in the ages before they were conceived of, and shall persist in the ages when they have been reduced to scrap.

    Also you can tell if they are dome key typing pussies or if they belong to the glorious Model-M toting master race.

    Sometimes annoing the shit out of everyone is its own reward.
