Skype?

08/04, 3:19pm, EDT

I'm having difficulty with the idea of integrating Skype into a media center -- I turn OFF my phones when I'm enjoying a movie. On top of which, IF you're going to integrate a communications protocol into this, why not iChat, or perhaps Gizmoproject, which at least uses the SIP standard?
