<p>Internet dating not delivering the same thrill it used to? OKCupid would like you to try out a new service called "Crazy Blind Date," which lets users arrange to meet people they don't know much about it. It may sound like a Kate Hudson vehicle, but we assure you it's not. Not yet, anyway.  [<a href="http://allthingsd.com/20130115/barry-diller-wants-to-take-you-on-a-blind-date-and-he-wants-you-to-pay/">AllThingsD</a>]</p>
<p>A group of online anarchists, wait, sorry, <em>archivists</em>, released a Javascript-based bookmarklet that lets users "liberate" a public domain article from JSTOR in memorial to the late Internet activist Aaron Swartz. [<a href="http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/01/aaron-swartz-memorial-jstor-liberator-sets-public-domain-academic-articles-free/">ArsTechnica</a>]</p>
<p>The word on Wall Street is that Michael Dell is looking at a deal to take his company private, a move which may free the PC-maker from the attentions of profit-hungry investors and give the company room to shift its strategy to better compete in mobile and cloud computing.  [<a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-01-15/dell-seeks-buyout-to-end-public-scrutiny-25-years-post-ipo-tech.html">Bloomberg</a>]</p>
<p>The Feds says that Kim Dotcom's entrapment claims are baseless. Mr. Dotcom says he's going to unveil a new file-sharing service on January 19, the one-year anniversary of his arrest. [<a href="http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/01/megaupload-entrapment-flap/"><em>Wired</em></a>]</p>
<p>Is Y Combinator funding the future of Windows spam? [<a href="http://www.istartedsomething.com/20130115/y-combinator-is-funding-the-future-of-spam-in-windows-drive-by-crapware-installers/">IStartedSomething</a>]</p>
<p>In case you forgot, Facebook is holding a press conference today, fueling speculation that Zuck &amp; Co. will announce a new product. One guess: Search. [<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/49283/facebook-search-15-jan-google-beware">Pocket-lint</a>]</p>

<p>Self-made billionaire Michael Dell recently topped the list of Austin's highest-paid CEOs for his generous <a href="http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2012/08/13/dell-tops-list-of-highest-paid-austin.html">$16 million annual salary</a>. But that doesn't mean he wants everyone to know how--and where!--he's spending it. (Lavish breakfast buffets aboard the family jet to Fiji, as it turns out.)</p>
<p>That might explain why Alexa Dell's oblivious, overshare-y Twitter account abruptly <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-08-10/the-very-real-perils-of-rich-kids-on-social-networks">disappeared on Friday</a> after the 18-year-old Columbia University student and <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/alexa-dell/4b/3b7/615"><em>W</em> magazine intern</a> shared a photo of her brother Zachary Dell, which was quickly picked up by the socio-economic sleuths at <a href="http://richkidsofinstagram.tumblr.com/">Rich Kids of Instagram</a> last week. <!--more--></p>

<p>The image of the younger Mr. Dell--Fiji-bound on his dad's jet, sitting before an nutrient-rich brunch that would feed the Joads for a week--was natural fodder for the <a href="http://richkidsofinstagram.tumblr.com/">trust fund chroniclers</a>, but has also been deleted. The problem, in Ms. Dell's case, may have been that her GPS-enabled tweets left a handy trail for potential kidnappers, a security analyst told <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-08-10/the-very-real-perils-of-rich-kids-on-social-networks"><em>Bloomberg Businessweek</em></a>.</p>
<p>A repeat offender, Ms. Dell previously posted the invitation to her high school graduation, complete with time, date, and location.</p>
<p>It's possible that didn't sit well with Mr. Dell, the elder, who spends roughly $2.7 million a year on security protection for his family, according to SEC filings uncovered by <em>Businessweek</em>.</p>
<p>When you make <a href="http://www.forbes.com/profile/michael-dell/">$15.9 billion</a> off of <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/29/technology/29dell.html?pagewanted=all">crap computers</a>, can't be too careful about exposing your whereabouts to disgruntled customers, we suppose.</p>
