Links for Tuesday January 18^th, 2011

• Facebook's 3rd Biggest Advertiser is a Bing Affiliate Scam: It's things like this that make me doubt Facebook's long-term viability as a company. I mean, I think that Facebook's product is the real deal, but if this is the best way that they can monetize said product, then that's not good.

• Apple beats BlackBerry twice with 16.2m iPhones pre-Verizon: I'm guessing that RIM is pretty much going to be in Apple's rear view from here on out.

• Exclusive: HP / Palm's webOS tablets -- pictures, plans, and more: I'm unreasonably excited about the prospect of new webOS devices, but if it's true that the webOS tablet isn't going to ship until September (something that I have also heard), then these things are once again going to be DOA. I've decided that I'd like to buy a tablet this year, but it's pretty implausible that I'll wait until September to do so.
