Even if I was using Intel, I'd be thinking "Hmm, Skype, that's the one that doesn't always work depending on which computer you are using. Screw that nonsense!"
They might get some short term cash, but they'll never get back the confidence and warm fuzzy feelings that they're expending on this.
Computer was a job title for humans for hundreds of years. And then digital computers came along and the first people tossed out of work were the human computers. (Mind you, the job couldn't have been much fun for ones who worked as human spreadsheet cells.)
The first computer that got me going was DTSS, home of BASIC, via a leased line to Montreal and the high school ASR-33 TTY. The first that I owned/built, was a Netronics Explorer 85 with a 3 MHz 8085. It still runs, although all the documentation is in a box in the basement (beware of the leopard sign and all that). Someday I might dig out the docs and add an IDE hard drive to it. (Why? Because! Besides, what else am I going to do with that 220M drive?)

No need to keep selling updates to keep the cash stream going. Just sell a service via the Internet. And you don't even have to make money directly off the people using to service if you can sell their eyes for advertising or tracking data.
Which is fine is the service doesn't disappear or go evil.
Well, then they probably won't notice when you bury a ton of stuff as hidden text in the Word document that will trip their keyword search software no matter what they're looking for.
Exactly how sudden was Wayne Inouye's departure? That is, did he have shares still to vest, and did he walk away from holy fsck amount of money.. assuming that the company was worth anything by the time they vested?
Right here. Not my country, but if they were taking a big chunk out of my pay check towards some HMO, I'd make sure that they did what I was paying them for.
My "Boss is coming" key would pop up a loudly labeled "Michael Bloomberg. Confidential IRS Investigation" window, wait a second, then remove everything from a screen. That way, his short-term memory would be electro-shocked into forgetting about the cards of the screen.
Buttholes around the world are cutting into "panorama priviledge" rights. You can't use pictures of the Effiel Tower at night, or that mirror jellybean in Chicago.

One of those cheap little multiband radios that tunes 13.56 MHz would be handy for detecting tag readers at a distance then.
I'm not sure that I'd want my fusion reactor to go one louder.

Low blow? I'd say Skype shot themselves in the foot.
Kid stuff. The Doctor could reverse the polarity of the neutrino flow with his sonic screwdriver.
Shhh! Don't tell the terrorist groups that. The ones that aren't killed by radiation will be easy to detect when they pass security/customs.
It's not just that. The alignment has to be just right and requires much work by doctors of feng shu physics.
Still got mine.

No, it sounds perfectly normal to me.
But the prion for Mad Cow disease isn't destroyed by cooking.
Whoa! Better check for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy first!
Tell you what, since Oswald can't do Color (being kind of black and white), Dennis Miller could do that.

It could be worse. They could have Oswald doing the Monday Night Football play-by-play.

Only if it includes all their Greatest Hats stuff. The Great Ones remember...
Check O'Neil's pond for fish.
