New Skype 2.6 Beta…Turns Phone Numbers on Web Pages into Buttons

After Tom Keating’s neatly packaged intro to Skype 2.6 Beta, I thought I’d give it a try. There’s a feature that turns phone numbers on web pages into buttons. Just click the grey button to dial the number on Skype. So cool! Works too!

Here’s what the contact number for a local movie theater looks like:

The Skype number highlighting icon in your browser toolbar (Explorer or Firefox) lets you turn this feature on or off, or uninstall it completely.

This Skype feature flat out sucks because I cannot copy phone numbers any more (copy and paste) and I cannot figure out how to turn the darn thing off. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
