Should they choose to. Technically it's dead easy, whether they will or not depends on the terms and conditions (you did read and understand them didn't you?).
Don't like that? Encrypt it. Emails are like postcards not letters.
*Cars* are about 20% efficient max. The ICE sits idling in traffic, variable speeds etc. Increasing the engine efficiency by 15% is a kludge and only increases the overall efficiency of the whole system by a couple of percent. Expensive waste of time.
If you're only getting a 15% boost in efficiency. Cars are only about 20% efficient and that's if you have a really efficient one. A 15% increase is like going from 15% overall efficient to 17%. This is just a kludge.
There's a much simpler and more effective solution... Go full electric drive hybrid. Decouple the engine from the drive.
It's *ADVERTISING*... The more you pay the more you get... Did anyone really ever believe any different? The more you pay the bigger the incentive Google has to stick *your* advert on someone's page and on the more popular pages at that. Now say DOH! and slap your forehead.
The Yuan (and thereore the people/products) are undervalue for now. China have got the currency floating marginally at the moment, its making a few percent per annum difference it needs to be allowed to float in a wider band.
And why clones are a dead end. All the monocultures are busy passing diseases around. THIS is why sex exists guys and gals. It's why having more than one computer platform even though expensive, is a good idea. They act as natural barriers.
Oh and for those of you who believe in reducing support costs by using a single platform... Nature already decided against that. The diseases, viruses are going to increase in number and sophistication until it's cheaper to run several platforms. Might as well start now, get some practice.:)

Who'd have thought...
increased at a rate of say 1% per year. New cheaper replacement technologies will appear as they become cost competitive.

Right, a monopoly on free web searching, a monopoly on free email and a monopoly on free instant messaging.
hehe, get accounts on them all... Hell, get multiple accounts on them all...
The KDE guys have solved this by having an open once "wallet".
Pay per view/click... Or does anyone actually pay flat rate for web page ads?
20% + 15% ? Where did you get the idea that the overall system was going to be 75% more efficient? It'd be 20% + 15% of 20%... from 20% to 23%.

"Punishes"
To their exchanges.
WTF?
I have to do *what* to see hidden files? That's documented *where*?
Anyway. Given the bloat of KDE and Gnome, everyone should be having a look at XFce and GnuStep instead.
Rate each site you go to as either good or bad. Believe other people who vote similarly.

I couldn't possibly use any text editor or word processor without such a friendly user interface...
Till it has a clippy...
Give me clippy!
What we have at the moment couldn't remotely be called free trade.
Might as well be X or VNC. Lets face it people. If you want a desktop in your web browser, we already know how to do that.
"AJAX seems to be like Darth Vader... Powerful, yet dangerous."
That's cos you're allowing any muppet with a web site to run his code on your machine...
Java 2/ActiveX 2... Not Web 2...
Someone at the top's thought. OK, we'll add Space to our mission statement, and someone lower's just grepped for .*space.* ...
The airforce in cyberspace... You couldn't make it up... Well, maybe Pratchet could.
You can install a voip widget. it'll then let you talk over the wireless.
hehe. Customers screaming, reputation going through the floor and they're sitting about waiting for someone else to fix the problem...
