It has been a rough week for more than a few tech companies, and all the hubbub seems to be centered around private data in public places. Facebook has taken more than a few on the chin this week, and it wasn’t the only company that committed privacy missteps. Weekend Update is seriously considering sealing all our personal data in a lead-lined jar and burying it in the yard behind
AllThingsD HQ. Maybe Kara and the crew can talk a little sense into us.

AllThingsD was back in full force this week, for the first time since before a certain volcano erupted all over the European transportation industry. We made the most of it, with a full stein of doppel-hopped awesomeness just for our readers.

The major story that unfolded in Silicon Valley this third week in April was fit for the silver screen. The divine screenwriter collected a cast featuring Baron VonJobs, Denton and his Gizmodo goons, and one well meaning–if tragically unlucky–software developer. Laws may have been violated, bribes were paid, and all over the seemingly golden prize that, let’s face it, we all would have seen in eight weeks anyway.

The tech media were catching up on sleep this week after all that iPad build up. It was years of speculation, of rumor mills and photoshopped images. This week, finally, at long last, we all got our hands on one of these little guys and now we can stop talking about it. Right.

All of us at AllThingsD are getting out our tuxes and gowns in anticipation of the big night. It’s going to be all about the story of a huge, profit-hungry oppressor using its might to crush competition for precious resources. Or, the Oscar might go to “Avatar.”

The whole AllThingsD team was shaking off the Consumer Electronic Show haze this week and getting back to business as usual. Just when we thought we’d left the craziness behind, we found ourselves knee-deep in a week of international espionage, network TV nastiness and a certain semiconductor manufacturer makin’ a heap-o-cash, but more on that later.

Only a few days ago, the
AllThingsDigital team left home freshly pressed, pockets full of cash (or at least as full as journalists’ pockets get these days) and ready to take on the geek horde at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. They had big plans, but in the end even a copy of Eric Boyd’s “How to Count Cards Like an MIT Freshman,” could not save them. They did do a heck of a lot of reporting on CES though, so at least they could bring back some news, if not new Ferraris from the Wynn.

You’d never believe it, you never would know, that Christmas had come, at least not by the snow. All the geeks in the Valley were typing away, forced to take a short breather on this year’s Christmas day. So read on for info, this update, dear friends, as Christmas is over and a new year begins.

Kara covered three Web companies this week, two with very 2.0 names and one about as Web 1.0 as it gets. BoomTown caught up with Mark Pincus of Zynga, the social-gaming juggernaut, right after the company raked in about $180 million from private investors. She got into it with Pincus over those questionable “offer” adverts in the video. Kara was back on familiar territory with a post about AOL this week.

Sometimes big news comes in small packages–especially in the world of high tech. This week,
AllThingsD covered some little changes that mean serious consequences for the companies that make the stuff and consumers who rely on it.
