(CNN) -- In this week's Tech Check podcast, Doug Gross, Brandon Griggs and Mark Milian break down this week's $8.5 billion purchase of Skype by Microsoft.

What will the purchase mean for the widely popular online-chat service and which areas of Microsoft's empire could see new chat features added?

Also, the crew discusses all the news from Google I/O, the company's annual conference.
Main topics include Google's move into the music and video streaming market.

The Reader Comment of the Week comes from Doug's much-maligned suggestions on five video games that Lady Gaga could invade (a light-hearted takeoff of news that she'll be teaming up with FarmVille later this month).

And for this week's Tech Fail, we look at some supposedly secretive shenanigans by Facebook that didn't end up being so secret after all.
