Skype, the immensely popular VoIP client, has just taken Skype for Mac 2.5 out of beta and into the world. Version 2.5 features the ability to send SMS text messages (for a fee, of course), have automatic birthday notifications sent to your friends, and conduct free ten person conference calls. Plus, with a little tweaking, you can now get 640 x 480 quality for video chats. And, as always, Skype 2.5 for Mac can be downloaded for free.
