Skype goes HD on Mac
To use HD video on Skype for Mac, users will need the FaceTime camera built into newer iMac and Macbook Pro computers or will need to use an external HD camera. Skype recommends that users have an upload/download speed of 1.5 Mbps in order to use HD video calling.
Paddy does not, we repeat, definitely does NOT belong in the category of Mac-head (yeh right!). She does get excited by her iPhone and her iMac and her iPod Nano and her Macbook and Bali's iPad and her future iHouse (patent pending). Ok, so maybe her head is a little bit forbidden fruit shaped. She likes shooting video (iPhone 4 camera zindabad!) and editing montages (Final Cut Pro zindabad!), whether the scene calls for it or no. In her spare time, she's either kicking it on stage with KB the keyboard or kicking butt at Taekwondo.
