    To uninstall a program, basically drag the file in the Applications folder to the Trash and its uninstalled! Doesn't get much simpler than that :).

    Keep in mind when you delete the application alone it won't delete the user preference, if there's any. The advantage to this is that if you decided to install the application again all your setting will be there. However, if you don't ever want the application again user preference does take up space, ranging from kbs to gbs and it might add up. It's all up to your call though. There are some software that looks up files related to the app, mainly preferences so you can delete them, or you can delete the preference files manually.

    iSight camera will work fine with Skype. I recall hearing something about it has issues with msn messenger, however.
