Anyone know what's with Skype? Is yours working? Neither I nor my friends can log into Skype or SkypeOut or SkypeUSA today. Can you?
Skype is aware of, and working on, the problem. You should simply check their forum. >

Here's the latest on the sign-on problem. We're on the road to recovery. Skype is stabilizing, but this process may continue throughout the day.

Voluntary courtesy clock police report.
Your news provider stamped your message Aug 17 08:18 UTC, which seems reasonable, but your computer stamped your message Aug 17 22:18 UTC which is currently quite a number of hours in the future which is definitely unreasonable.
That is, it is apparent that you have your computer's clock set using the wrong timezone offset from UTC. Most people would prefer to correct their computer's clock's time to the correct timezone offset.
The other night they did a software update and the system has had problems since. Log onto their web site and read about it.
