Skyping with Lenn above Siberia
Skyping in airplanes is already becoming old news. [Lenn](http://lennpryor.blogs.com) is at this moment somewhere high above Siberia on his way to Japan and I chatted with him from the comfort of my home. As wifi on airplanes is becoming a commodity, the next critical resource appears to be power outlets, currently available only in business class of most carriers.

[20:36:34] lenn pryor | Skyping at 40,0… says: and I only have 40 mins on the battery
[20:37:02] lenn pryor | Skyping at 40,0… says: they have them in business, I wish I could pay someone a few Euros to charge my machine at their seat
[20:37:10] lenn pryor | Skyping at 40,0… says: they should bid that on Ebay
[20:38:10] lenn pryor | Skyping at 40,0… says: also we should have Apple Bonjour in all versions of Skype for local discovery
[20:38:21] lenn pryor | Skyping at 40,0… says: I wonder how many people are here on the plane using Skype
[20:38:23] Jaanus Kase | Tallinn says: Bonjour was formerly known as Rendezvouz?
[20:38:28] lenn pryor | Skyping at 40,0… says: yes
[20:38:39] lenn pryor | Skyping at 40,0… says: they have a Windows SDK
[20:39:21] lenn pryor | Skyping at 40,0… says: that could be cool for finding other Skype users on the plane
I definitely second the idea of adding Bonjour support to the Windows version. There’s also Howl ( http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/ ), an alternative implementation that’s more focused on open source operating systems such as Linux (although Apple’s Bonjour exists for Linux as well).
And man… Skyping on an airplane? That makes me so jealous
I have just joined you and i find that u do not have AUSTRALIA on your list of countries.
I used the U S A and this is not my country.
I live in Australia could you fix this problem.
oh , i am in china !
Bonjour would be a welcome addition to the skype application. It would also help with file transfers on a LAN (using a router). At the moment when someone on my lan sends me a file through skype, it routes through the internet connection and back again (meaning a slower speed as I only have a 512K dsl connection).
