What's my point? If you're neurotic about your privacy and you're apprehensive about giving someone the ability to cross-reference your search info with your personal info and your mail info, turn off cookies and don't use Gmail.
Well, that won't help. All mail I send to (and receive from) Gmail accounts can be AdSensed(TM) and a profile of me, associated with my email-address, can be created. This allows for targeted spam, but I expect more sophisticated stuff from Google. They can use Orkut in the exact same way to see who your friends are (even if you don't use Orkut).
They will likely also collect keywords in mails sent to me from all my friends with Gmail accounts, and display text-ads targeted at me. So I would advise anyone not to use the 'free' Gmail.
This is the most asinine thing ever. First of all no one is every going to implement something like this that requires someone not to comply with US law. It just won't happen.
This does not require people to break US law. It only requires people abide even stricter rules. Also (you may not know this) the internet is used by non-US citizens as well.
What "media player market?" Is there a version of Windows Media Player that costs money?
Euhh... well no. But there's these things called 'servers' that do cost money. Companies need servers to stream media to customers. So in deciding what server to use, does 90% installbase matter? I do think so.

Overlapping VPNs (such as when multiple companies interconnect in a supply chain) create a potentially unfiltered path for viruses to spread far and wide.

I've used) and I find that that Windows Media Player, with the appropriate codecs installed, works quite well for a wide variety of multimedia files.
Well that's the whole point. It works, and for most users it's a hassle to install a competing product. So if I were to provide multimedia content to end-user, I could use Quicktime and have the users download and install it. Or I could have them use the preinstalled product.

It's not just some freeware app, Apple has put alot of effort in iTunes. It was initially created to sell more Macs (digital hub stuff). Now it's used to sell music and push Quicktime on the PC (iTunes comes bundled with quicktime). Also PC-users that really like iTunes may consider buying a Mac.
NO, it should load them, otherwise the site is able to detect you're blocking the ads, and may take precautions. (That's probably why./ has those annoying text ads.)
They state they believe in the 'Best tool for the job' priciple (in other words however).
Apache clearly is the best tool for webserving. However they did not choose it because it's open source. I assume they just rent the webspace somewhere cheap (although it isn't slashdotted yet).
This is a very good point. Apple embedded DRM in their optional free iTunes and Quicktime software. And nobody sees it's bad, because it allows you to burn CD's (for now). It's even worse, when bringing this up on/., people always object saying that's not DRM. That may have changed after the eBay-sale of a song, but people were not opposed to Apple's DRM because it was disguised pretty good. Apple Music Store is nice because it makes the music industry look silly. But it is bad bacause you can't play the songs on *nix/windows systems.
Besides the fact that it is actually easy to get the countryname from a IP address, iTunes Music Store does not check anything but you billing address, so as long as that's in the US, you can play your music around the world (technically).

Erricsson MPS allows for location aware services on GSM phones. I've seen a demo from a WAP (hehehe) site that showed your location on a map, but that was a few years ago. I haven't seen anything after that.
The Ericsson mobile positioning system (MPS) (to be delivered to the Taiwanese company) is a server based solution that allows positioning services to be introduced into any GSM network that has Ericsson switching systems. The system will work with any GSM standard radio network and all existing GSM phones. At the heart of the Ericsson MPS is the mobile location centre (MLC), a system that allows user applications to access position information for GSM phones. An application programming interface (API) will be available to allow the development of custom applications. The MLC also handles access security and protects subscriber privacy by allowing GSM users to choose whether or not their phones and other devices are tracked.

There is no reason they should cost one penny more than Apache.
Welcome to Darwin Streaming Server, the open source version of Apple's QuickTime Streaming Server technology that allows you to send streaming media to clients across the Internet using the industry standard RTP and RTSP protocols. Based on the same code base as QuickTime Streaming Server, Darwin Streaming Server provides a high level of customizability and runs on a variety of platforms allowing you to manipulate the code to fit your needs.

They rate Apache even higher.
