Just saw an internet phoe app on versiontracker that was 5M. Why is the Skype so freaking big and bloated? 31 Megs for a lousy phone app. Who's writing this thing. Micro$oft?

I think this app deserves one star because its developers keep making us download new versions of this monstrosity.

Skype is owned by eBay which makes it a brother to PayPal, one of the most vilified bunches of assholes on the web. Look at

Skype can be known by the company it keeps.
