So, on the same day the news breaks out that Skype is going to put ads in its calls (and actually expects us to have conversations about them), Skype for Linux finally gets updated to version 4.0, after being on 2.2 beta for who knows how long.<br>
<br>It'll be a while before I can try it out, since I typically only use new versions of packages that the Gentoo devs have stabilized. Still, it's available for download, along with <a href="http://blogs.skype.com/linux/2012/06/skype_40_for_linux.html">the blog post</a> to prove it.<br>
<br>No guarantees that it's better, though. Skype has gotten worse since Microsoft bought it.<br><br>Lawrence<br>
