Voila - a "command line" interface all right. I use google, wikipedia, allmusic and other services this way only.

That said I am really afraid of what will happen if Skype becomes de-facto standard. Will they start charging for the core protocol? Will it have backdoors? Will it suddenly disappear in case of bankruptcy?

I don't know if this is what was meant, but you can store a set of tabs as home-page.

There are open standards for Voice over IP, and Skype does not use them - they try to "hijack" the VoIP-market with their own proprietary standard.
The Norwegian Public Broadcasting company (nrk) now offers radio streaming in ogg vorbis in addition to mp3 and wma.
Well, PNG is lossless, whereas JPEG is lossy. JPEG is superior when it comes to compression of e.g. photographies.
