I need to use my EX1 as the camera in a web cam setup. The people that are going to interview me can only use Skype video, the MSN Messener or the yahoo messenger. How do I manipulate thinks or buy a software that would make my computer believe the EX1 is a web cam?
 
If you're on a Mac, you can use iChat. Just plug a firewire cable between the camera and your Mac, then go into your iChat preferances and select the camera. You can use AIM and "I think" Yahoo messenger accounts to log in with.

I just did a corporate meeting between three locations using this technique. Had two projectors setup. Let me know if you want all the gory details. (audio was tricky)
 
I found that by having a camera operator (zoom, tilt, pan, etc...) you get a lot more interesting web video than with a static $55 web cam. Clients love it! (but, I realize you were just joking)
 
Yep, totally being sarcastic!

Agreed on having a camera operator at the helm for web video stuff. Not a bad idea to sell to clients...
