Best quip I’ve seen re MSFT/Skype: RT @xriva: Microsoft Skype: The Blue Screen of Voice. (via @Pogue)

@timothyjoreilly Neither the stock market nor I see this deal increasing shareholder value $8.5 billion (MSFT down >1% today).

@anders94 I’m not able to go to the Robotics event tonight; My wife and I have a standing date to go dancing on Tuesdays.

With Skype, Microsoft is throwing money after ever-elusive synergies; it won’t earn the $8.5B purchase price back for decades if ever. #yg
