I don't see how libertarianism has anything to do with privacy. One does not have a right to privacy, just as one has no right to control what other person knows or thinks.
I also wonder how one could describe this web site as libertarian-leaning.
I wonder what this privacy enforcement is costing the German economy. The world will move on regarding privacy and data mining will eventually become ever more ubiquitous. If Germans are so eager to place themselves at a competitive disadvantage they'll find out that the next Facebook or Amazon will definitely not be invented there. Or, on the consumer side, people will get degraded experience or no service at all. In the same way that GEMA prevents Germans from having Pandora or Spotify now, if they make it impossible for Facebook or Google to operate, consumers will lose again.
I can hardly remember any "Apps" before the iPhone showed up. These things were used to be called "Computer programs." So App Store is indeed the invention of Apple.
It would be nice if someone made a video of the Linux upgrade path as we've seen recently with Windows. Install Linux 1.0 ->... -> Ubuntu 11.04 and show how applications continue working.

This will leave us with tons of cheap stuff and lots of time for leisure.
It will solve those problems which are worth solving.
Well, it creates lots of government jobs. Too bad that these jobs not only produce anything useful, but hamper the rest of us who are productive.

AMD could outsource production to those who have competitive process tech.

Good! Because I surely will consume as much as I can.
They also don't speed up existing software.
Are you sure that destroying the western civilization the most efficient way to cope with this change?

I'm the one doing the stealing, so no need for hiding.
Many posters here could count themselves in, as people who say "Foreigners steal our jobs!" are classified as neo-nazis: http://www.laut-gegen-brauntoene.de/pdf/lautgegenbraun.pdf
Other sins are:
- Not endorsing muslim terrorism
- Not endorsing feminism
- Not endorsing leftist indoctrination at schools
Then don't do anything stupid. This has nothing to do with Facebook or Google.
I don't break the law so I am all for it being used on everyone who does. Why aren't you?
At least one can expect people who are motivated by money to be rational. Unlike people who are motivated by an ideology (e.g., the FSF cult).

Because this would be racist.

Please, take a class in economics.
It's the cost-benefit analysis. Silicone turned out to be cheaper than time/brains.
