It’s not a bug, it’s a feature

I noticed several times that my Skype chat sessions/windows appear on my PC at work. Uhm, that’s fine. Except that those chats were the ones I had the night before, obviously not from my office PC. I left my Skype logged in the previous night. But should my chat sessions automatically appear on every PC that I am logged in?

On another instance, I also remember my Ozzie and I had a chat on Skype that went on something like this:

…
Ozzie: Okay.
Me: Okay.
Me: Huh?
Ozzie: Why?
Me: What? I didn’t type that.
Me: What?

Then my brother went to my room and asked how I did that. “Did what?“, I asked. Then it dawned unto me that I was still logged in on Skype on the other PC (that my brother was using at that time), and he was the one typing the other lines.

This is designed behavior, so they say. https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCW-268?page=comments

I’m not going to debate on that. It’s their app. I just think that it’s a security risk (risk due to user stupidity, I guess. ).

I have nothing against Skype. As a matter of fact, I love Skype! The audio and video are excellent. I can’t imagine life without Skype. (The quality is better and much faster than the Gizmo Project and Yahoo Messenger [definitely], IMO)

I’ll just make sure I log out every time, and I’ll be fine.
