     Stop trying to track my every move online. How many    people understand tracking cookies? How many companies make it clear that every click is being recorded and data-mined? How is this ethical?  

This is ethical in same way that some one can record information about you walking down a private street. There is nothing un ethical about data mining

     cool, hip, 

I agree but cutting-edge software developers? Please they work for Microsoft and Google. People on this forum have a way of deluding themselves. 37signals et. al. aren't the Cutting edge software developer, people who create Flume-Java are.

This forum consists mostly of latte sipping, hip crowd, without any CS degrees and lack of knowledge of Maths.

Microsoft employs as well as attracts some of the best software devs to its platform. Also it makes stuff easy for them unlike Objective C.
