Skype-modded Hulger phone
The Hulger P*PHONE is a gorgeous retro USB phone. It's technically simple, just a microphone, a speaker and a cable.
Canadian artist and designer Mike Pelletier "added a lever switch connected to a phidgets interface kit [seen below] so a max patch can detect when you pick up and hang up the phone and automatically tell skype to answer or end a call. I made sure that the wires match the phone."

Has the coverage of the "talk revolution" ever gotten around to how crappy Skype is written, how confused the company is (Skype Me, no Skype Me, Skype Me only on Macs), and how shabbily the company protects its assets (Search For People On Skype taken over by spammers)?
