I won't boycott but I just won't buy anything new from them. Used games/movies, the bane of their existence. This will ensure that Sony doesn't receive any money directly from me.
If this was a standard eBay Auction with no additional features using the eBay Calculator, if Skype's opening bid was $2.0bn and since it ended with an offer of 2.6bn, the total fees would have been $39,000,017.93.
Maybe Yahoo is hoping eBay will back out so they can make a Second Chance Offer for $2.5bn. I'm sure Skype had a Want It Now offer but they were all rejected since the Minimum Reserve was set to $2.0bn.
The listing & closing fees are going to be exorbitant. It is a good thing eBay can pay with American Express.

Why pay when Linux users use a free OS. Everybody expects their games to be free.
What game companies should do is like linux companies make money: release the game for free but charge for tech support.
Of course, when someone figures how to do the MUST-HAVE exclusively on Linux then things will change... not likely.
When the RIAA gets done with suing everyone on the P2P clients, will they set their eyes on other means to force people to buy their monopolistic music? I've moved away from using P2P in favor of just getting good continuous music from shoutcast stations.
After I got into using StationRipper which Slashdot once covered, I don't even need to worry about using P2P to get music that I enjoy listening to. However, will I need to worry that the RIAA will track my use since I'm saving the music I listen to then worry that a lawsuit will fall on my door step for doing this?
I wish my school had gotten something similar to DDR when I was a kid. I didn't find out about DDR until I was 23. I was on my arse in front of my Playstation or PC just about every waking moment or wasting my money in arcades on shooting/driving games.
I was in horrible shape at that time. I was at 260 lbs. and wearing size 40 pants. I REALLY needed to get in shape at that time but any excercise programs I tried to get into I find monotonous and tedious. I could never keep myself motivated for more than a couple weeks before dropping it like a ton of bricks. It all changed when DDR arrived in town back in late 2000. I immediately got hooked to the game and was playing it every chance I could get.
After just 10 months of playing DDR, I dropped 68 lbs. and went down to a size 34 pants. I'm still playing the same type of game after nearly 2 years and been able to maintain my waistline. While my preference of dancing game has migrated over to Pump It Up, I want you to find me a current video game that has a lot more benefits instead of being bashed by the mass-media for rotting our minds.
If it takes DDR to get kids motivated to exercise, more power to them. While our super-sized arses keep getting bigger (60%+ of population overweight/obese), there has to be other fun interactive ways to get you people to exercise. After playing DDR, I don't see why the rest of America can't get thin since it's SO much fun!

Science proves why Barry Bonds loves to hate the press.
And Wyoming is a blank square.

You mean spiked-hair coke addicts with baseball bats are safe? I was wrong all along due to hollywood..

I wonder what category the auction for Skype was under. I couldn't find the Overbloated Corporate Buyout category.
