Skype and MySpace — that just sounds like a match made in heaven, no? If you’re still scratching your head on how the two actually fit together, here’s the low down: a new partnership between the pair will soon allow MySpace members to dial up other users by simply clicking a button in their profile. Of course, this is assuming you can actually find the aforementioned button in all of the site’s clutter, but we digress. Starting in November, the service will reach users in some 20 countries around the globe, and while vanilla PC-to-PC calls will obviously be gratis, “premium options” such as personal phone numbers, voice mail, call forwarding and PC-to-landline / mobile calls will have an undisclosed pricetag attached. Welcome to a whole new realm of shock callin’.

When it rains, it pours. At least we’re pretty sure Vonage thinks so, as for the second time in as many days, the firm has been hit with terrible news on the legal front. Just a day after being ordered to pay Sprint a whopping $69.5 million for patent infringement, the VoIP provider is now hearing that the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit “partially affirmed” the Verizon verdict from March. For those who have forgotten, that case proclaimed that Vonage owed Verizon $58 million in addition to royalties on future revenue, but the appeals court did “direct the trial court to reconsider the verdict on one of the three patents and it vacated the damages and royalty awards.” Notably, the “injunction has been stayed pending resolution of Vonage’s appeal,” but it will go into effect within a month if the outfit can’t secure an emergency stay from the US Supreme Court.

While there was once talk of just selling Sprint the keys to the (crumbling) Vonage offices, it’s pretty safe to say that those plans are no longer in the cards. Apparently, Vonage Holdings Corp. “was ordered in federal court to pay $69.5 million in damages for infringing on six telecommunications patents owned by competitor Sprint-Nextel,” and if that wasn’t punishment enough, “jurors ordered Vonage to pay a five-percent royalty on future revenues.” If you’ll recall, this isn’t the first time Vonage has had to cough up major quantities of dough after being sued for patent infringement, and although a spokesman for the firm “declined comment,” the company has already announced that it will “seek to overturn” the verdict.

Pudding Media, a California-based startup, is opening up a beta test of its internet calling service, and while calls are said to be completely free, there’s most definitely a catch. Users making the call will be presented with advertisements that actually relate to the conversation taking place, as the company’s speech recognition software picks out key words and beams in ads based on what you’re yappin’ about. Notably, the company actually seems quite interested in licensing its technology out rather than becoming “an independent provider of ad-financed internet phone calls,” and while we’re sure hordes of privacy advocates will be none too pleased with the setup, those without issue can head on over and give it a try today.
