Everybody hates new Skype, why won't you revert?

So, this forum is full of people that think this version of Skype, sucks big dong. I'm not talking about certain people that don't like it, I'm talking about threads that if is about Skype sucking, only negative feedback is given. People hate your damned version of Skype, 70% of your users hate new Skype, 10% just takes whatever it's given and 20% doesn't know how to complain, yet. Don't you understand this Microsoft, people hate YOUR BIG PIECE OF y'know what. Nobody likes it and still your greatest answer is: - Manually go to [this] link.- Then download Skype- Have it complain about newer versions- Have pain uninstalling newer Skype- Have pain installing older version of Skype- Complain little less about Skype, because it's still Microsoft's and it still sucks.- Complain on forums about Skype and watch them dodge your feedback like it was pure lava. If there was a light bulb which shines once user complains about Skype, it would've changed into defusion reactor. So why not swap to that older Skype? What was so bad for it? You can't stand users not have Skype bound with Microsoft or what?!

You know, I am not a hater; but the new skype looks like it was designed by a call center in India.  Total lack of intuaitive UI;  it is so user unfreindly that EVERY time I use it I feel lost.  The Android app requires you to scroll through your entire contract list to get to a contact.  It does not have predictive dial contact search - a basic feature of even the most simplistic mobiles for over 10 years.   Microsofts attempts to create a unified program model reliant on IE and it is rediculous.  I am sure that the uninspired pinheads that designed this software call thier mothers every nigh and tell them all about the wonderful success they had in thier corporate positions; as "developers"  in charge of snuffing out the usability and friendliness of what used to be a flagship of digital communication.   While I am on the topic I really despise Microsoft for what it did to Windows ..with thier ridiculous Windows 8.  Dont they understand that people who actually use computers to PRODUCE (rather than consume) content usually have multiple screens and minimal coherent user interface is the lifeblood of productivity.  BUT NOOOO  Microsoft "developers"  (deveolutionists) make the UI buttons big enough to still allow an epileptic in a Grande Mal to use a computer.   Why did you do that ???   You have blanketed the same functionality with a ridiculous UI that has to be "peeled back" anytime I want to do something useful.   Once again I am sure the unispired corporate coffee drinkers call mom every night and tell her how they are changing the world.....

  • Why won't you unlock the bootloader​?

    Toshiba, why won't you put an APK in the downloads section to unlock the bootloader. Explaining that it will void the warrantee and that you will no longer be able to receive I updates from the service station OTA.

    They don't care. Never another Toshiba for me:
    1. I had a 750GB Toshiba Cavio external HD that died with minimum usage after 11 months...
    2. This tablet has annoying light bleed and is locked.
    3. I have  PORTAGE R700 laptop - Annoying fan noise !
    Will never recommend Toshiba to any one !

  • AI - why won't you let me love you? Upgrade to new version pegs my CPU. Uninstall breaks IIS core

    I've been a happy consumer of the first version AI for some time. I wrestled quite a bit with it to get it to work with my code base, eventually opting out several of my namespaces in ApplicationInsights.config so that the CPU on my web servers wouldn't
    go to 100%. I got it worked out with Sergey's guidance and happily enjoyed the data it provided up until now.
    I recently decided to upgrade to the new Azure-based AI by installing the latest nuget package via the AI tooling in vs.net 2013 and the AI Status Monitor on my web servers. I tried a to deploy the updates last night and my nightmare has returned as my CPU
    goes back to 100% for one of the servers.  
    It is slightly different this time in that it only pegs one of my servers. If I bring that pegged server down, the other one pegs.
    What's worse is that if I try to uninstall the AI Status Monitor it brings down my web server because it somehow corrupts Windows Process Activation Service which the WWW Publishing Service depends on. The Process Activation Service fails to start with a
    'The parameter is incorrect' message. If I reinstall AI Status Monitor the process activation service and web service both start successfully. I had to leave it installed and use the AI Status Monitor interface to unregister all apps on the web server in order
    to bring my prod app under control.
    I don't see any documentation on the new AI.config file (the link to documentation that is added to the config file doesn't actually take you to information about the config schema) so I don't know how to opt out those same namespaces to see if I can make
    the new version work. Can you provide some guidance?
    One other issue - removing the NuGet package from my web projects did not remove some lines from my csproj file, specifically the <Target Name="EnsureApplicationInsightsImported"> and <Import Project="..\packages\Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.0.12.0-build17386...>
    nodes.

    Oh... These AI bugs that we know and love!... And, yet, you just pegged them :)
    But, let me start from the beginning...
    Last time I fell asleep I dreamt of Status Monitor causing AI Nuget server to fail on IIS start although Status monitor has been removed already... I woke up in sweat
    and tears hoping for this to be just a bad dream but it turned out that the nightmare was a cruel reality and AI Nuget server could not start for real that day..
    I won't forget that glorious moment when "The workaround" descended upon myself: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WAS\Environment
    registry key value should be removed to make WPAS working again (although the value is empty after Status Monitor uninstall, it needs to be removed completely...)
    Later, in the evening that was as dark as the mother of the nights, my silly attempts to remove AI from the web project turned into yet another buggy-like creature staring
    at me from the csproj file: the mighty artifact “Leftover AI targets” (+2 to garbage in the project file) was there. It turned to be yet another known bug with a manual workaround as you can guess…
    I whispered into this darkness asking teammates for the documentation but my whisper was met by nothing but a dead silence that kept me thinking that there is none and
    all I have is to use web search and
    AI landing page.
    What happened next is even harder to imagine (though much funnier
    J)… The very next morning I was trying to prove to AI team that I do not post questions on the forum under a pseudonym “J Kewley”
    and I do not try to make fun of AI team that way…
    Therefore, I write this to sum up our experiences and, hopefully, answer some of the questions.. The bugs are in the backlog and can make it into the next AI release, please try to work around
    the problems till then.
    The CPU issue is entirely separate beast, though, - the reason of such degradation should certainly be different between “old” & “new” AI.
    Previous data collection logic was MMA-based and the present collection logic isn’t, so there is no namespaces to enable/disable in the new version at all.
    Could you please describe the application/situation in more details to track this one down:
    -   What is the application technology?
    (MVC/Web API/…)
    What’s the load on the application and how load is distributed across instances?
    - Does w3wp.exe process consume all CPU when the issue happens or there is something else?
    Maybe you can share the dump?

  • Why can't I cancel an auto payment to Kdan and why won't you refund my 5.99

  • Why won't you let PC users view HDV?

    I'm a film student in New York who can't afford to buy a Macbook Pro when I've had the same PC laptop for so many years. I've been given an assignment that requires me to shoot on HDV, and I spent the time and money on HDV tapes and filming this shoot using HD cameras. Our lab (with very strict openings with only 2 HDV decks) uses Final Cut Pro - so I spent my time logging and capturing about 8 tapes of footage.
    So I went home and went through the trouble of getting the Mac data system to communicate with my PC data system so my hard drive would even let me see that I HAD the footage - now that I finally do, I see that only my DV footage works! (one tape)
    Now, I know you'll tell me to export it in H.264, but I simply do not have the time now nor would I have had the time to do so in the short hours of lab availability - not to mention it's something I wouldn't (and didn't) think of since captured DV footage works with no problem!
    This is a widespread problem - not all people don't have the luxury of Final Cut Pro and a Macbook Pro. Why can't I edit the footage I shot?
    So I ask:
    PLEASE MAKE THIS CODEC AVAILABLE (FOR PURCHASE, IF YOU'RE SO INCLINED)
    Thanks.

    NoveltyMC, try not to get too upset with Kirk. He knows more about QuickTime than probably the rest of us in this forum put together, but I'm pretty sure he's not a video production guy, and he probably misunderstood what you're really doing...
    Again, the real question is, what codec is it?
    Experimentally, have you tried downloading VLC (http://www.videolan.org) on the Windows side to see if it can handle the HDV material? Internally, HDV is, if I remember correctly, MPEG-2 based, so an MPEG-2 codec ought to be able to handle it, provided that Final Cut did not transcode the file into ProRes or Intermediate.
    If you open the file using QuickTime, and do a Get Info on it, what is the listed codec? Is it listed as HDV, or as Intermediate or ProRes?
    If VLC can handle the files, then I expect it might be as simple as installing the MPEG-2 component for QuickTime, but I hate to recommend that without knowing for certain that it will actually work.

  • New user - why won't some LANDSCAPE format pics open for editing?

    Help!! Having just returned to the wonderful world of the Mac after years away on a PC, I'm struggling to edit my photos and successfully comprehend the links between the original jpeg files I'm downloading and the thumbnails onscreen.
    I'm reasonably technical, a Photoshop user and don't understand why it is that I can't DOUBLE CLICK on a LANDSCAPE picture and edit it...
    For some reason, I can't even edit my landscape photos in iPhoto (which I'm resorting to as in a hurry with a particular project)....
    Is there some reason why LANDSCAPE pictures aren't appearing in iPhoto's EDIT window? It only display's portrait pictures - all the landscape pics are replaced with a grey window and an exclaimation mark '!'
    The pictures are still there, just WON'T OPEN in edit mode in either iPhoto or Photoshop when I double click them (and yes, I have set the Preferences to default edit in Photoshop).
    Can anyone help please?

    nixmax
    The important thing to remember is that iPhoto is not just an image viewer. It's a Photo Organiser, that is a database, with a built-in image viewer, lightweight editing and version control. Hence, photos must be imported, it's not enough that they are simply dropped into a folder.
    When you import and image into iPhoto, by default (tho you can change this) it is copied into the iPhoto Library Folder at Home/Pictures. The intention is that you will now use iPhoto for managing the files as well as displaying the pics. So once a pic is in iPhoto everything you need to do can be done via the iPhoto Window, including removing pics. In this (the default) scenario, once the photos have been imported to iPhoto you can discard your original files.
    Once in iPhoto, anything you do is done on a copy of the File. You can always revert to the Original.
    A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    The thumbnail points to the most recent version of the pic, and if you want to reach the Original, use the Revert To Original command. This will remove the modified file. If you want to keep the Modified one, duplicate it, then use the Revert... command to create a new version.
    The standard warning: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
    However, there is no real reason to go into the iPhoto Library Folder. If you want to accessa file there are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Only you can decide if you should preservere. It's not that difficult, more a conceptual leap than a huge learning curve. Hopefully the above will help, and if it doesn't, by all means post again.

  • Apple, why won't you help me

    Apple, I hate you. You sold me a product that does not work. I would contact you by calling you but the phone you sold me does not work. It constantly needs to be restored. Fine, annoying, but I can handle that. However now, my phone is telling me that it cannot be restored because there is a problem with my backup data. So what am I supposed to do? Just not have a phone? I can't lose my backup data as much of the information in my phone is very important and work-related. So what happens now? I am just screwed? I would call you but I can't because of your faulty product. I would use your online support but it won't let me unless I have my serial number which I can't get to because my phone that you sold me won't restore. I need help in this situation. As of right now, your product and your customer service is a complete debacle and I urge anyone reading this who may be on the fence about purchasing an iphone to spare themselves from these types of frustrations! Don't do it! Either buy an android or a windows phone or a flip phone or a house phone or anything! But not an iphone! You don't want to go through this kind of trouble....

    There is no Apple here to read your rant.
    We user here don't care if you switch over to a different company or phone.
    Instead of calling or emailing, how about you actually take the phone into Apple store and have the people at the genius bar take a look at it.
    let me guess you have no means of transportation to get there

    What OS (winkey+r > winver), Skype version (help about Skype (latest being 7.7.x.x) are you using. Make sure your Operating system, Internet Explorer and drivedrs are updateded to the latest possible versions. Also make sure no securety software is blocking Skype (malwarebytes, firewalls and such). Also make sure to restart any devices you connect through (router, AP, FW etc) including the host machine.

  • Why won' t you connect....

    So I have a asa 5510 in my main office.  I have 4 other remote offices that connect witha 5505 through L2L VPN.  Have for  years no problems everything is perfect.
    We have added a new remote office so I am adding another 5505 to this office.  I have everything set exactly the same but this new one won't establish a VPN connection.  Have a nice interenet connection but no VPN.  Is or was there some major change in ASA Version 8.2(5) that is causing a hicup.  All my other ASA's have version 7.2(4).....
    What am I missing......
    Thanks!!

    So other things came up so this problem got pushed back.......NOW its time to figure it out!!
    Yes I have 4 remote sites all connecting to my main site L2L vpn perfectly.
    I basicly copied and pasted those commands to the new ASA and changed the required info.
    But can not establish any kind traffic between the new site and the main site.
    From 5505 from New Site:
    sh crypto ipsec sa
    There are no isakmp sas
    sh crypto ipsec sa
    There are no ipsec sas
    IF I try and ping the asa 5510 at my main site I recieve a 0% success rate.
    I have remote access to this office so I can only currently make changes through the ASA from the asdm.
    SO if I do a packet tracer from the 5505 to the 5510
    Route-Look up is ok
    IP-Options - ok
    Nat - drops  (acl-drop) Flow is denied by configured rule.  But the rule is set the exact same as my others ASA????
    Any idea what I should check? or do?

  • Why won't you enable downloading photo from iPhone

    I think it's annoying that every time I connect my iPhone to my Mac iPhoto pops up, and the worse thing is that I can't just download photos straight from the the phone to the computer.
    So why do you make it so hard to drag photos from the phone to the iPhoto library?

    think it's annoying that every time I connect my iPhone to my Mac iPhoto pops up,
    iPhoto Preference -> General -> Connecting Camera opens... and select your preferred option
    and the worse thing is that I can't just download photos straight from the the phone to the computer.
    Have you tried Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)?
    Who are the "you" you think you're talking to?

    I have been trying unsuccessfully to upload my hundreds of previously burned photos (some CD'S AND SOME DVD'S) on my PC using Nero.  They are mostly jpegs, some tiffs.  They do  upload to iPhoto on my new Mac but I bought this program in hopes of using it for editing my photos.
