•	If you want to know what's really going at Yahoo this month, there's one person to ask: Kara Swisher has a comprehensive report about the (continual) swirl around Marissa Mayer and her company. Short version: Yahoo's board backs their CEO, and doesn't want to sell off its core Web business. But it still has to consider its options, which it will do, in pre-planned board meetings this week.

•	Yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan announced the birth of their daughter Max -- and then announced that they would be giving away 99 percent of their $45 billion fortune to charity over the course of their lifetimes.

•	Airbnb released a big batch of anonymized data about its listings in New York City yesterday, a move designed to help gin up public support in its battle with NYC lawmakers.

•	The private equity firms Vista Equity Partners, KKR and Thoma Bravo are all vying to snap up $4 billion worth of Dell assets that the tech giant is selling off to help pay for its $67 billion merger with EMC. [Liana B. Baker and Greg Roumeliotis \| Reuters]
•	Remember Dan Price? The CEO of payments startup Gravity, who said he was paying all of his employees at least $70,000? It turns out that gesture might not have been so pure-hearted. A fascinating Bloomberg feature reveals that Price is enmeshed in a lawsuit with his co-founder brother that predates his now world-famous pay raises, in which his bro alleges that Price vastly overpaid himself. Bloomberg also surfaces brutal domestic abuse allegations made by an ex-wife, and made Price pose for a lot of goofy pictures. [Karen Weise \| Bloomberg Business]
