It is a Microsoft lifecam VX-1000. If there's enough room in that little thing for this kind of intelligence, I'm impressed.

The intelligence is usually in the driver.
I purposely did not install the drivers, but that's not saying much as the camera, OS, and Skype software are all Microsoft's, so there is no reason to believe Microsoft couldn't run any driver they wanted to in this situation.
If it is indeed the webcam and not Skype, it'd be cool to update the description and/or title accordingly. After all, it's rare to see a MS product given high praise around here - and they certainly seem to deserve it here.
Microsoft owns Skype anyway.
