Ever paid too much for something?

eBay appears to have paid about $1.43 Billion too much for Skype. You can read more about this here and here. This is an interesting development because Skype was the hot thing a few years ago, enabling people around the world to talk for free from computer to computer. I love their service and use it most every day.

Rumour has it that Microsoft may be trying to purchase an interest in FaceBook. Something tells me that a few years from now, a similar paid-too-much story will be appearing!
