Reports are emerging that Microsoft will buy the internet company Skype for some $8.5 billion.
Buying Skype could be the biggest acquisition in the history of Microsoft. Rory Cellan-Jones, technology reporter for the BBC told The Takeaway: "It's really throwing a lot of money and a lot of effort and a lot of focus at being A) cooler and B) more mobile."
