<<Something big is brewing between Google and Ebay’s Skype, we’ve heard from multiple sources. Actually, for weeks now there have been low level rumors of the two companies talking, but nailing down any details was difficult. New information, however, suggests that they are in current talks and that a partnership or outright acquisition may be announced in the near future.>>

eBay acquired Skype in 2001 for $3.1 billions. I'm wondering how much it worth now.
Anyway, I heard Skype lose money...
