Jay, I suspect that was written by the same people that wrote the Clinton Death List (the one with all the people Clinton supposedly knocked off). It is based on taking a little fact and a boat load of "possibles" to craft a good story. Most importantly, the "facts" they create are used to support one another.
#8 makes me laugh. Read it the right way: There are some flaws and hooks in the way Google ranks pages. If you take advantage of those hooks and then they change them, well, your fucked.
Cookie durations that long are often a programming thing. I think 2038 is the longest date out there you can put a cookie for (basically a forever cookie). 2038 is, from what I understand, the second y2k.
Basically, you can go through it all and find minor faults on the basic premise of each point. Once you start, you can easily see that much of this is "presumed" or "implied" stuff, preying on you not knowing about programming, browsers, and such. The info in point #2, as an example, is readily available to any webserver, as it is part of your http request. Almost everyone of those points is recorded by your own log files on your server.
Just one of those things...
