Facebook in Germany More troubel than its Worth?

In the New York Times it turns out that Facebook is the third US social network to be in Germany but it seems that Germany's privacy laws are a bit to much for Facebook, you know how every time your friend joins a new social network you automatically get constant emails asking you to join. Well the Germans really don't like that and have complained to the "authorities" and know Facebook has to remove that extra feature and actually hold to true to the privacy rules, if they fail to do so the fine is €300,000, or $410,000 per day!!! I wish those rules would apply here as well. Facebooks privacy promises never worked and continue to fail,  perhaps this way they will try harder to keep their promises if actual money loss is involved

FUTURE REALESTATE

I just Read how the Swiss have gotten so desperate by the recession that it was decided to Lease old military bunkers.  Bunkers that were original built to defend Switzerland from invading army’s high in the Alps.  It has served a great purpose in the past to defend the Swiss but today to keep one open the costs are to great and to close one its more, approximately $1 billion dollars because of environmental regulations millions more than to keep it open.  So what is the next step LEASE it to the highest bidder.  Who wouldn’t want a giant hard to break into bunker that claims could survive a nuclear strike and gas attack would be impossible.

Update China's President and the US President Break Bread

Ok so far President Obama and President Hu Jintao have recognized each other as great world leaders.  They both agree that there is much to do to work on US- China Relations economically and military wise, and that’s it.  Everyone has been walking on their tip toes and holding their breaths for what.  NOTHING,  nothing has been agreed nothing has been established just meaningless semantics, state dinners, concerts, ceremonies.  Sure it’s a very delicate process but really if two very powerful world leaders go to so much trouble it be nice to have something happen. 

The Real Problem With China by david Leonhardt

In the New York Times the article "The Real Problem With China" is the perfect title with China's President coming to the US issues like the currency rate is not the main problem. With China being stingy of what is sold in the stores by only Chinese made, produced and even thought of in China.  I'm not completely convince that the Obama Administrations is going to have much of a success with convincing President Hu Jintao that it is in his best interest to change when his country has benefited greatly their lack of interest of other than Chinese made products.
