So basically they don't have to follow any laws after they've done that?

.And if they cant capture it, they'll nuke it :D
until some "pirates" shouting merica!! capture it :D
Why would anyone ever want a chromebook
Why would anyone ever want Linux

Implying that doesn't already happen already ? Also let's forget about the obvious advantages for file sharing.What advantages? It's just datacenters, the actual company is still located wherever it currently is and thus subject to laws, right?

Guys ? What if a huge tsunami happens and rock the data center upside down ? :O
Unless the datacenters are based in "shallow" water, a tsunami won't do anything. A tsunami isn't a superwave, it's a wall of water that grows by colliding with the soil. In the middle of the ocean, there's a huge column of water between you and the tsunami-induced movement.
A few miles offshore is not the middle of the ocean.
A few miles outside of the exclusive economic zone of the USA on the west coast is well into the ocean
Except it says 3 to 7 miles offshore which is "a bit" less than 200.
Also, it's a barge with a flat hull. Good luck putting that in the middle of the ocean.
Now, what would be wrong with a flat hull barge ? It would be anchored and stuff right ?
A sea anchor only slows you down, and you can't attach an undersea cable to something that is moving. Also with that shape it wouldn't fare well in a storm.
Anyway, it's not like they wanted to do it that way: their "floating datacenter" patent mentions 3 to 7 miles from the coast (not international waters)
Why does it have to float? Why not put it on the bottom of the sea instead so you could put under sea cable there. Water temperature should be constant unlike in the surface water.
That would be orders of magnitude more difficult if even possible with our current technology.
anything past 3 miles away from the coast of the nation is international waters.

Heavy storm surge will still make them move, since they aren't "Rigid" structures, and instead Flexible to a point. Those things are amazing structures. They'd probably survive far longer after the fall of humans than almost anything save Nuclear power plants, Hospitals/critical buildings, and some special structures.
