**Tech News and Updates**

In recent days, there have been several exciting developments in the tech world. On one hand, we have two potential deals for gamers and computer enthusiasts alike. Firstly, Dell is set to go private in a $24 billion deal that has generated significant interest among investors and analysts. Michael Dell, the company's founder and CEO, is seen as the right person to lead this venture, given his ability to pivot and try new things.

On the other hand, we have the highly anticipated Oya console, which is set to be released in June at a price point of $99. This console has generated significant buzz among gamers, with many speculating about its potential impact on the gaming industry. While Nintendo's recent release of the Wii U was met with some disappointment, particularly regarding the sluggish performance of the touchscreen, there is hope that future iterations may address these concerns.

In the world of smartphones, HTC has made an interesting announcement regarding its new flagship device, the M7. Instead of sticking to traditional megapixels, the company has opted for "Ultra pixels," which are expected to offer improved image quality and performance. This move is likely a response to Apple's recent innovations in camera technology.

**Social Media and Online Platforms**

Meanwhile, social media platforms are constantly evolving, with new features and updates being added regularly. For example, Instagram users can now browse their subscribed accounts directly on the web, without needing an app. Additionally, Facebook has been working on its own virtual currency system for purchasing apps on its platform, which is seen as a direct response to Amazon's recent move in this area.

**Gaming Consoles and Smartphones**

The gaming console market is heating up again, with several new releases on the horizon. While Nintendo's Wii U was met with some disappointment, there is hope that future consoles will address these concerns. In the world of smartphones, BlackBerry has released its latest device, the Z10, which has been off to a better start than Microsoft's Lumia 920.

**Gadgets and Hardware**

In the world of gadgets and hardware, Amazon is set to launch a new virtual currency system for purchasing app content on its Kindle Fire devices. This move is seen as a direct response to Facebook's own virtual currency platform, which has been gaining popularity among users. BlackBerry has also released its latest smartphone, the Z10, which features an improved camera system and sleek design.

**Events and Gatherings**

Finally, we have some exciting news about an upcoming event that promises to bring together vloggers and enthusiasts from around the world. Vlogger Fair is a new event that will take place in Seattle this summer, with Kelly Ishikawa and Brent Spore at the helm of its design team. The event will feature talks, workshops, and networking opportunities for vloggers and fans of all things vlogging. This promises to be an exciting and unique experience for anyone who loves watching or creating Vlogs.

**Licensing and Copyright**

The concept of copyright and licensing is increasingly important in the digital age, where content can spread rapidly online. However, as we've seen with the recent release of the Oya console, this raises interesting questions about ownership and control over intellectual property.
