Skype Is Evaluating Adding Typing Suppression Feature 77
An anonymous reader writes "At a press event in Stockholm, Sweden today, Skype confirmed it is evaluating the addition of a typing suppression feature to its desktop clients that will automatically filter the sound of your fingers hitting the keys. Unfortunately, the Microsoft-owned company isn't ready to ship the functionality yet, despite it being available in the company's enterprise-focused Lync tool."

Also you can tell if they are dome key typing pussies or if they belong to the glorious Model-M toting master race.

Dude, are you still using one of the old fashioned steam powered mice with the big metal cogs or something? ;-)

Skype already filters cat purring (Score:4, Funny)
Skype has been able to filter out the sound of cats purring for a long time now. I tell you that it's really useful when you're sitting in your island lair, plotting world domination, and issuing orders to your minions via Skype. The sound of the purring kitty on your lap is completely filtered by Skype. So when a suave British spy tries to infiltrate you, the minions can hear your voice loud and clear. I tell you, this is a great win for evil overlords everywhere.
