I recommend staying away from the Western Digital My Book. It has many bad reviews online. Also, refer to Western Digital's list of files types that you cannot share online. This is a big turn off for many users. They claim "Due to unverifiable media license authentication" you cannot share files with certain file extensions including AAC, MP3, MPG, OGG, WMA, WMV, and even TMP.
I believe the main distinction is that Google and DoubleClick are competing in different areas of online advertising. Google deals primarily with textual advertisements, while DoubleClick sells mostly graphical advertisements.
I am quite interested in learning what kind of hard firewall you have that is capable of distinguishing between a packet sent over port 80 originating in, say, Internet Explorer and any other piece of software. I am also interested in knowing what software firewall you have that can block applications from rewriting its rules to allow themselves access. I know the free version of ZoneAlarm can distinguish which program is sending data over port 80. Additionally, I would hope that all firewalls do this. ZoneAlarm even asks you for verification when the program checksum is changed / updated. I can't elaborate much on the second, but there are fairly extensive protections against rewriting the firewall rules. You cannot simply overwrite a settings.xml file without it complaining.
Still, a firewall will not prevent G-Archiver application from sending your login credentials to gmail, since you must already give the program access to the port used to download and archive your emails.
It depends on whether they prohibit or merely discourage forking.
The Java source code is already available to the public, but the current license prohibits forking. I'm not sure what a license such as the GPL would do other than allow forking of Java. What is the motive behind wanting to fork Java? Personally, I think Sun does a great job developing Java, and the source code is available to anyone who wishes to learn from it or contribute patches.
Google does make money from Firefox and Opera downloads. Google pays the Mozilla Foundation many millions of dollars to include Firefox as the default search option. (google it) Google also pays Opera for the same thing. In fact, the Opera web browser was made free due to google's generosity. http://gigaom.com/2005/09/21/google-made-opera-bro wser-free/
The companies trying to sell windows market the fact that it's used on so many domains, when in reality, most of the domains have nothing on them. It's just another statistic that Microsoft uses to convince people to stick with their OS or to convert from linux.

You could, but that is not simple and it only works for one program. It is also likely that the firewall would check if it has been modified.
Sorry, I did just notice that.
