I've been playing around with the SMC wifi phone for a couple of days (more to follow on that one...), and a couple of people told me they received a message from Skype when they sent me messages in chat, telling them in no uncertain terms that I didn't want to talk to them.

Well, OK, in many cases they were right, and at first I thought this might be some kind of clever new Skype widget which was detecting my mood and automatically filtering my calls (please, somebody, invent one of those!!). However, one of our crack team of developers over in Tallinn has put me straight: Skypers will get this message if they message someone logged into a Skype phone which doesn't need a PC to run, such as the SMC or Belkin wifi phones, the Netgear SPH101 or Philips VOIP841. Just something to be aware of if your buddies think you're being antisocial...!
