It's obvious, but I'll just say for the record - that's not open source, they just de-obfuscated the binaries. Which is a big deal, but still a far cry from having an open-source replacement.
On joindiaspora, pressing cmd+left (which is usually the browser "back") leaves me in the same page. Which is more strange is that pressing the back button it works properly.
A more reliable way to navigate with the keyboard is ⌘+{ (back) and ⌘+} (forward). The chords ⌘+← and ⌘+→ can be captured by text input, JavaScript, or Flash.
We've been over this (re: wiretapping). Skype uses supernodes for STUN traversal and UDP hole punching, otherwise communication is peer to peer. Even if this were true, it would only apply to traffic that Skype is TURN tunneling, which is very minimal and can be avoided by one client simply not having a corporate, full-cone NAT router.
It's really hard to take this seriously when it's obviously not a good faith use of the phrase "open source" and it's littered with tags like "#OWS", etc.
If you want open source, encrypted voice communication, it's easy to find.
edit: To cover all bases, if there is some implication of collaboration between Skype and the government, there is still the potential that the US could be listening in on peer to peer communications. I don't find the Azure/Super-nodes to be evidence of that.
Big deal. The advantage skype has over countless other voip programs / SIP clients (many of them open source) is their userbase, not a superior product.

Truth be told.
P.S. I agree with your M$ comment tho.
M$ is appropriate.
