Star Trek's Universal Translator was created by .... Microsoft?!

star_trek_pinMicrosoft bought Skype for over $8 billion a few years back and it's been working on making it even better.  Now you can Skype with someone who is speaking in a different language and it will translate it in near-real time.  It's called Skype Translator.

It always amazes me how much Star Trek had a beat on our needs.  Now if we could just get that replicator thing working!
