I've had no problems using it w/ Yahoo. It worked a lot better with iChat, though. The video on Yahoo was jerky. iChat was smooth as silk.

Has anyone else noticed that the isight camera takes pictures that are a mirror image? I noticed a clock in back of me was backwards. Strange. What am I missing here???

If it didn't when you moved left it you'd move right on the screen. It'd be very disorienting.

That was by design. Just like looking at a mirror. The people on the other side see a normal image.

I've been having problems with connecting to iChat for a 2 person video conference. It says that I have either a)cancelled it or b)disconnected. Any solutions?

That's how optics works, the same think happens inside our eyeballs, but our brain "converts" the image. And yes, the person in the other side sees right!
