As the situation is presented, Google is under no legal requirement to comply with any 3rd party browser "privacy requirements" outside of any existing legal agreements with manufacturers of said browsers. Was any such agreement in place?

The above policies lead people to the sort of passwords that get written on yellow sticky-notes and put underneath monitors and keyboards, or written on the back of a business card in the purse or wallet.
Requiring "8 characters, at least one each of UPPER and lower case alphabet and at least 1 numeric character, to be then compared against a blacklist of common or easily exploited passwords" is the best way to go.
When reinstalling machines for clients, or machines to sell, i usually go with lowercase-number-UPPERCASE.
"snow86FALL" is quite a bit easier to remember than "J&Ff54$3(jG4D" and provides sufficient entropy for most uses.
And the 3-month expiry is right out. Short-term expiry policies are the sort of smoke and mirrors that management types use to pretend that they are "Doing Something About Security(TM)".

Perhaps you should look at monetizing your site a bit better?
If you are pushing that much bw and can't cover $500 per month, something is wrong.
Talk to the big advertisers, let them know how much traffic you have.
They will actually help you monetize your site.
Find each Rumblefish C-level executive, and cut off their fucking heads.
You can't download paper.
Now somebody will make an adult app called "Rim Job".

Maybe they should be graded on a curve...?
I'm just sayin'.

According to what legislation, by which legislating body?
In the jurisdiction of...?
MS is a private company, not a legislative body.

tl;dr - MS can go get stuffed.
You can call it what it really is:

All the data is really stored in a big flock of birds.
And the birds are angry!
There are these pigs, you see, and they try to eat up all the bandwidth.
So the birds have to retaliate.

A curious and active mind will keep you fit, alive, and young.
Receiving your "beliefs" from churches and your "information" from cable news networks will make you fat, lazy, and stupid.

I live in the U.S., and have 9 machines on the home network.
The newest machine is my wife's work laptop. It is 5 years old.
The other machines are anywhere from 7 to 9 years old, with the exception of my laptop-as-an-ebook-reader which was built in 1999.
All of the machines perform very well for work and media.
Which means that small businesses and start-ups can afford more floor space.
Successful business doesn't just mean bringing a good product at the correct price with effective advertising.
Successful business also means looking over this corpse of an economy and picking the eyes out of it.

That is a very well written statement.
Do you mind your post being used as letters to state and federal congress critters?
Or used as paper flyers to be handed out at the local college?
If you give permission, I would like to do both of these things.

OSX is based on UNIX, and Steve Jobs was kind of a girly-man.

What is Mint like compared to Ubuntu?
Been hearing about it but haven't tried it out yet.
When Ubuntu 8.04.4 becomes too outdated to use, I will probably end up going back to stock Debian.
