MacJoost, SkypeCon and all that Jazz

Joost is now Mac-able - the email I got on Friday notes that:

Today we have good news, and we have great news. In addition to the 0.8 release
which includes new CoreAVC Video decoder, which significantly improves the
quality of the video, we also have an Intel Mac beta version.

We don't use Mac's - they are just fashion accessories after all , but be interested in any comparison studies

Skype announced a 10 person Audioconferencing on the 8 Feb - great idea for diverse SME's (like us)...

Today, we announced that Skype supports 10-way conference calling on PC-s with new Intel processors. Specifically, this means Intel Centrino® Duo mobile technology-based laptop PCs, and desktop PCs based on Intel® Pentium® D processors, Pentium Extreme Edition processors and the recently introduced Intel Viiv™ technology. And 10-way conference calling means you can have up to 10 people in the call, instead of up to 5 as was the case up to now.

.......but I can't make it work yet - anyone else got it to work? Also a bit grumpy about Intel only....I think there are a lot of AMD chips out there.

On the subject of disruptive internet Media, some have said there will be blood everywhere - but not literally. Maybe they were wrong, this is Jazz with Violin(ce)....
