How is this any different than what Google or Facebook do every day?

This probably has more to do with sales taxes than privacy.

" if there will be an opt out."

Of course there will be.  If you don't like it, buy the nook colour instead, or install cyanogenmod.

Also, I'm aparently still in the dark over how using amazon's EC servers will improve browsing speed over just deplyoing a squid cache anywhere along the line would.  the REAL bottleneck for thse mobile devices is the CELLULAR or WIFI connection they use.  Anything on the far side of that is just going to idle durring data transfer times.

How about a House Of IT?  When you have 50-60 year old men who've probably have no clue how the internet or anything IT related works.  But you expect him to make a impartial judgement on something he has no clue about, things don't work like that.  He'll make the wrong decision majority of the time.  We need people who understand how the INTERNET and Technology work, and make a sensable decision as to if we giving anymore information to Amazon than we are to Facebook. 

 

I would rather at times our government to stay out of stuff like this.  I mean seriously, what aren't we giving our information out on anymore?  When can I not be tracked down into atleast a one mile (if not less) section of wherever I'm at.  The GPS in my phone connects me to maps to get me places, but my phone can get me tracked down by that same GPS.  My phone can also get me tracked down by the cell tower I use.  My internet company keeps information on me(and probably sells it) for which websites I visit and when, for however long the government has said they will keep track of those logs.  We all know that facebook can track your every move if you let it.  Also your likes and dislikes and pages you frequent visit are "intellectual property" of FACEBOOK if you deem to delete your account.  All this information is given out freely by us to these companies.

 

There's only one way to not give these companies our information in this day and age, that's to not have anything.  No phone, internet, bank account, television and so many other things we see as necessities

2 total morons.  How about the fact that our privacy is being increasingly invaded, data is being accumulated on all us about what we buy, what sites we visit, and even our political beliefs, the ability of companies to track and ultimately access virtually anything they want to know about is growing far past your limited inteligence -- and you ask why someone should be questioning this?

2 total morons.

Why does congress deserve any explanation? Again, a group of fat politicians can't understand something, so they assume the worse!! Why? Because nobody 'knows' better than a fat politician that, when you have power, you abuse it!!
