Skype Thinks You’re Lying

skype140A new service will soon be available to Skype users [VOIP software, for those not in the know] that allows them to detect if the person they are talking to is lying to them. Jigga whaaat?

Skype is to offer the KishKish Lie Detector, which is made by BATM, as an add-on for customers. It analyses audio streams over a Skype call in real time and illustrates the stress levels of the other person.

I don’t know if we really want stuff like this- if it reads you wrong, it will just lead to all kinds of suspicion and unnecessary grief, and if its right, how do you prove anything?  This promises to turn every Skype user into a crazy paranoid mess, convinced that everyone is lying to them.  I preemptively say booo on this idea.
