Microsoft is a little less evil today

Microsoft today has tipped its hand about the direction it intends to take Skype, and it's pretty good news for us. Besides a commitment to integrate WebRTC in Internet Explorer, they're now talking about integrating Skype with WebRTC.

The devil's in the details of course, but this bodes well for those of you missing Skype integration on STAC-VIP, and it means we may be able to eventually support it on codecs.

As a refresher, WebRTC is a real-time video audio codec built into modern web browsers. Using the right SIP carrier, it can make high quality calls to our ACCESS codec and STAC-VIP talkshow system from virtually any computer, using the high-quality Opus algorithm.

I've raged before about people leaving their passwords at default.
I'm not kidding. And neither are the hackers.
