http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/11/skype-killing-old-api.jpg (http://undefined/2013/11/01/skype-killing-old-api/)The latest message that pops up when you open Skype on your desktop could have dire consequences if you're using third-party apps and accessories with the VoIP service. Come December, Microsoft is scrapping (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/20/microsoft-ends-skype-support-for-windows-phone-7/) the current programming language in favor of something a little more mobile device-friendly. The next version of Skype is being built with an eye toward improving call quality and making instant messaging on your not-computer (http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/09/skype-android-video-quality-tablet-ui-update/) more, well, instant. The downside is that accessories and apps using the nine year-old API's features will either lose some functionality or stop working completely. Can you hear that?It's the collective fist-shaking of anyone who uses an unofficial add-on for recording podcasts or interviews.
