Several different sources are reporting that Skype is shutting down their "Extras" program. The program was designed to help developers release third-party applications for the VoIP service. "Developers and users will have some adjustment time, though. Skype won't certify any new submissions, but it won't yank support for existing Extras either, that is, until their certificates expire. You'll still be able to install existing Extras through the Windows desktop client, and you'll still see them featured in the Skype shop. Skype will also continue to maintain its public API. Since many Skype Extras are sold to users as premium content, the shut down also has a financial impact for profiting developers. They'll have [...] until December 11, to continue using Skype Credit. Developers will need to submit a final invoice by January 25th; after that Skype will shutter its third-party shop."pa href="http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/09/09/11/1724224/Skype-Kills-Extras-Program?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/09/11/1724224"/a/ppa href="http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/09/09/11/1724224/Skype-Kills-Extras-Program?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/NeyPbjDu_H2H2YjZagDDEXHKprQ/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/NeyPbjDu_H2H2YjZagDDEXHKprQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/NeyPbjDu_H2H2YjZagDDEXHKprQ/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/NeyPbjDu_H2H2YjZagDDEXHKprQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/UV6dnqCeYS4" height="1" width="1"/

crimeandpunishment writes to inform us that Arizona is putting the brakes to a controversial and contentious speed camera program. The cameras have been used along highways in the Phoenix area and in vans throughout the state. While the cameras are used throughout the country, Arizona's program was the widest use of the technology, and the decision to drop it is a setback for those who argue that the cameras slow speeders, reduce accidents, and free up police for more serious matters. "The camera program was instituted by Brewer's predecessor, Janet Napolitano, now the Homeland Security secretary. Cameras were introduced in September 2008 and were added until all 76 were up and running by January 2009. Lawmakers considered repeal proposals within months, but set the issue aside and appealed for calmer debate when a passing motorist fatally shot a camera-van operator doing paperwork in his marked vehicle in April 2009."pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fyro.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F05%2F07%2F123210%2FArizona-Back-Off-Its-Speed-Camera-Program" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Arizona+Back+Off+Its+Speed+Camera+Program%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fc4jCby" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/05/07/123210/Arizona-Back-Off-Its-Speed-Camera-Program?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./piframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discussamp;id=1644482amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"/iframe pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/M2pMvwUKpK7vS4xrotdY2v06mNk/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/M2pMvwUKpK7vS4xrotdY2v06mNk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/M2pMvwUKpK7vS4xrotdY2v06mNk/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/M2pMvwUKpK7vS4xrotdY2v06mNk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/ZzGhkSCV1mc" height="1" width="1"/
