There are tons of 0-days out there, maybe not in Chrome proper but in Java, in extensions, in flash... Multi-million is a huge exaggeration. I think market is 20k - 50k for many areas.

It changed in 2008 for 501c3s: http://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Exempt-Organizati... Having been in another non-profit that also failed to notice this, if you ask the IRS very nicely, they'll usually
