Linkfest 54/2012

Dear all,

again Friday - again links. Let´s start with something to read for the weekend.

Interview with Bill Buxton
Bill Buxton gave a interesting interview for Engadget Distro Issue 37.
The PDF can be downloaded here. The article is worth to read, but nothing is really new. It is a good summary of all keynotes I heard by Bill.
