Matt Asay and I finally broke down and got a guest on our Open Sources podcast series. It wasn't that we didn't want to before, just that we were too stupid to figure out how to make Skype work properly.

In this episode we are joined by Robin Yellow, a British man-of-mystery (misery?) not unlike Austin Powers.

You can get the mp3 directly, or the OGG if you are feeling frisky.

Highlights:
* We discuss the furor of stupidity related to Macworld
* Matt refuses to answer questions with a simple yes/no
* Robin assures us that open source will thrive in the enterprise of the future
* We predict an iPhone killer in 2009

This podcast stuff is great for my incredibly painful carpal tunnel flare-up this week.

I seriously doubt that you were too stupid to figure out how to make Skype work - that is exactly one of the biggest problems with Skype, if it doesn't work simply out-of-the-box, you are likely in for a nightmare trying to figure out why and what to do about it, and Skype has absolutely NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT to assist anyone in doing so. It is disgraceful for a company the size of Skype to treat their customers with such utter contempt and disregard.
