Skype's founders and eBay have come to an agreement on the terms of the sale of Skype to private investors. The founders will retain 14% of the company, not 10% as originally stated. Soon Skype will no longer be the property of eBay; that was a short-lived and fruitless arrangement if we've ever seen one.

Professional social networking site LinkedIn has received a user interface overhaul. The most notable change is the addition of a top navigation bar, but several smaller adjustments have been made too.

The beta version of the Boxee streaming web video software will finally launch on December 7th, and it won't just be the alpha version with a few bug fixes. Boxee's founder has promised a new user interface and better search features in the new version.
