The first week of 2013 brought with it a wide array of news from around the tech world. Helping us sort it all out this week is Katie Fehrenbacher, who explains why Avis bought Zipcar, then Janko Roettgers gets inside Intel’s big TV plans, and finally, Mathew Ingram talks about how famous blogger Andrew Sullivan’s paid content move is a watershed moment (win or lose).
