Following on from the release of Mac 2.0 with Video Beta, Mac users are getting another treat today: 10 minutes of free SkypeOut calls to landlines. As a famous Mac user once possibly said: "Mr Skype, you are spoiling us."

If you're using a Mac, you'll see the 'free minutes' banner when you go to Skype's homepage any time from now until 8pm tomorrow (Thursday). I'm using a PC, so I can't see the banner. Not that I feel deprived...

Click the banner and follow the instructions to bank your freebie, which you can save to use any time you like. I suggest using it to ring up your mates late one night and tell them in a very loud voice to download Skype, or else you'll send the boys round. A'right?
