Enable hidden Skype (2.7 Beta) Emoticons in OS X

I discovered today that there are a bunch of hidden, amusing and animated emoticons in Skype 2.7 Beta (and possibly other versions) on OS X (and possibly other OSs).

They look like this :



So, being a geeky sort I knocked up a quick one liner to enable them all in OS X.

This bit of copypasta can be run in the Terminal and it assumes that you've installed Skype in the default location (/Applications)

perl -p -i -e 's/<true\/>/<false\/>/g' \
/Applications/Skype.app/Contents/Resources/Emoticons/\
Animated\ Emoticons.SkypeEmoticonset/Emoticons.plist

Animated emoticons make me want to hurt puppies.
