I can agree to certain extent that browser window sizes are issues
when right menus are concerned. But looking at the trend a lot of
companies are opting to look different and it is this vision that
prompts them to change in the way we perceive or interpret user
experience. 

Most of the browsers are viewed with maximized windows and with
options of adding a tab within the browser window the users by
default would maximize the windows. This will not allow the right
hand side menus to go out of the browser windows. Moreover if you
look at the trend, more users are shifting to resolution larger than
1024x768. 

If we have to consider left-right human tendency to scan visual data
then if a user does not find menu to the left the next things is to
look at top and then to the right. This would waste lot of user time
and hence I recommend using high contrast menus on the right hand
side.

Hope this helps.
