...might just make the software more appealing to customers. Recouping the lost market time with a slightly more solid base, combined with less strain on call centers when bugs do fly up. Catch 22 be damned, I'd rather have working, secure software a month later than a buggy, glaring security risk today.
By the way the United States government was supposed to work, the National Constitution was to set the ground floor on rights. A person could never have less freedoms than were defined within. States were then allowed to make their own constitutions in which they could grant more rights and change the ways certain regulations worked, but never take away things granted nationally.
By the very sound of this, some governmental group that is outside of the whole system is now going to set a ceiling on freedom of expression (no higher than this please or we'll have to hit you in the head). So by the system America was founded with, this won't fly and will be rejected within the US outright.
I mean after all, our current administration is all about protecting the America that our founding fathers wanted... right? Yeah, that's where this scares me, we currently have a "Big Brother and State Religion for All" administration that spins history to suit its whims and uses fear to gain powers it should never have had. I have a feeling this is going to be praised as one of the greatest moves against world wide terrorism.
One company dedicated to spyware partnerships, the other dedicated to security holes? I'd say more of a match made in hell, but then when our corporate masters rain death upon the non-belivers I'd be in the front of the line.
We had massive problems with the Yahoo toolbar out at the university I used to work at. Not only did it portal in all the spyware we could ever choke on, it was often installed by way of some sites that our lab computer users were fond of visiting.
Is it just me or are 90% of these helpful little utilities nothing more that spyware in the end, toolbars and accelerators just bog down the machine and sprout security leaks like a zarking seive.

I for one welcome our spyware masters!
I wonder what would happen if one were to apply one of those hokey Bible Code programs to the Book of Mozilla?

All I can say it that my gut is telling me... eh.
