I'm not really sure that he can't keep the data, but he can't charge for access. According to data protection laws anyone has right to ask what data about them is stored in said database, how it's stored and to correct, or remove it. Free of charge.
This has nothing to do with web standards. The alert message says it's not _supported_ on other browsers. Here "supported" means "someone has actually tested it on every supported version, if it something doesn't work, call us". If anything breaks and you call support, they can't say "that's a bug in your browser". If it is a browser bug they have to work around it.
Any GSM phone works on any GSM network, as long as the phone supports the frequency band they use and that's rarely a problem. New (3G) phones support UMTS, in addition to GSM, and use GSM, when they are out of range of UMTS network (or low on battery). The "other standard" is CDMA2000 and has a few percent market share (Wikipedia says it's 12%), some phones are sold in both GSM and CDMA versions. afaik CDMA phones are permanently locked down to a single network, but I don't think there are any technical reasons.
Now it'll have a chance. And once it gets awful everyone will be complaining that they should have killed it earlier. Every smartass will say that they let it get that bad because those evil greedy bastards wanted to milk every penny out of it (just before they start ranting about how evil the RIAA/MPAA is and how it's all their fault).
Forget how they squeeze that much power in this thing, I just want their heat dissipation technology. Besides, if it's so powerful that it can cut through basically anything, then this thing must be really hot inside (lots of energy in small mass), Hot means UV, so skin cancer is probably among the occupational hazards (as well as a dangerously cool tan). Luke got a new hand so i suppose a melanoma wouldn't be a big problem either, but the blade would be also very bright, and that would cause some nasty retina burns. Uh, looks like it's not that good job after all. Oh and this thing might last quite a while, but it must run out of juice after some time -- "wait a moment, must change the batteries". Oh, batteries, are they rechargeable, and if they are what happens if you overcharge them? KABOOM! And if they aren't then they'd probably have quite a nasty environmental impact if they just discarded them, so they must be recycled somehow. We can't get it right on a single planet, they have a whole galaxy to worry about. And what happens if you run out of spares?

The problem is not with bash's default configuration but with configuration shipped with various distributions. Grandparent uses probably Ubuntu, and I can confirm that it's broken there just like he describes.
I think they inherited it from Debian, but (flame ahead) wouldn't be suprised if it was their own invention, just as broken flash, sound, or networking.
Actually, that's not true anymore. I wanted to tell them so when this thing was announced, but after some research it turned out I was wrong. Low-cost x86 CPUs and chipsets are comparable to mobile platforms, at least as far as we are comparing prices, because they still have higher power consumption.
Bad parsing.
Not working doesn't prove you aren't responsible, but if you have a job you prove that you are. It's enough if you just look bad, you don't need to actually _be_ bad.

Are there any differences between the (then) final draft and the spec that will be finalized?

Not sure if you are just trolling, but just in case: NO!

Look up that "segmented memory" GP refers to.
Firefox + AutoPager + Adblock Plus + NoScript + Stylish and problem's gone. Yeah, browsing the web is a lot more complicated than it used to be...
Oh, those are artists too.
