> Ah Moore's Law. It explains everything.
He never said that Moore's Law explains everything. He simply said that Hendy's Law explains why phones will soon has 39-megapixel cameras. Since the Nokia Lumia 1020 is available today with a 41-megapixel sensor, I do not find this to be farfetched.
Facebook and Instagram will depend not on Moore's Law, but on availability of bandwidth and cost of storage. To argue against Moore's Law for Facebook is to argue against a strawman. The article did not make that connection -- you did.
In 2005, would you have predicted that Youtube would never carry 1080p videos? I mean, back then, Blu-ray and HD-DVD were still battling it out for dominance of the next-generation disc market.

I was referring to the fact this is on kurzweilai.net and Kurzweil tends to think it does explain everything: how we're going to beat the turing test in 16 years, how he's going to resurrect his dead father, etc. From the subtitle to the last paragraph, the article clearly implies that this technique will soon be applied to social networking sites. And it seems to use Moore's law to handwave the details.
