I’m borrowing the title from ArsTechnica to point out and comment on some of the interesting things I have been putting in my link blog lately.

A survey seems to show that over 10% of PC users, who buy an iPod, switch or consider switching to the Mac. It pretty much supports what I was writing about Apple not really needing to worry if they keep executing well. They have the technology with OS X, the design touch and the iPod as a great ambassador. Add to this word-of-mouth and slowly they are going to win user after user.
Also on the Apple subject, we want an iPhone, while others wonder if mobile phones are going to kill the iPod.
My take: If we don’t get an iPhone, yes mobile phone will kill the iPod. But Apple can still do something about it.

I have started using the online social networking tool LinkedIn. It’s a tool that helps find connection between your existing contacts and some job candidate, potential business partner, etc. It has quite some potential (some tips on how to get started in online social networking).

I got linked too by Om Malik on my post about Skype phones. Also on the Skype front, the first application using the Skype API is here. Engadget interviews Skype co-founder and CEO Niklas Zennström.

I wrote about TI DLP technology. ArsTechnica wonders if there is such a big market for monster TVs. On the other side of the screen size, TI announced their Hollywood that would allow watching HDTV on mobile phones. Not everybody believes that people actually want to do this.

I read some interesting stuff about Estonia. Ross Mayfield writes about his trip to Tallinn and his lunch with the “father of the Estonian internet”. The International Herald Tribune is on “e” words in Estonia (e-banking, e-commerce, e-government…).

Many links about TabletPC too. It might be my next laptop.

As I was shopping for a digital camera, I also tried to solve the backup issue. It’s crazy how many people don’t worry about this problem. All these photos will only get their real value in 30 years, and even CD-ROM don’t last that long, not speaking about hard-drives. I haven’t solved the problem yet, and I haven’t bought a camera either.

And finally Wired on digital beauties. Amazing (check the pictures).
