The rotated picture business is bit confusing, so bear with me a minute.
When you shoot in portrait view your camera records everything the same as it does in landscape view, but adds a little digital note saying, in effect, "this picture is supposed to display in portrait." Some things can read the note, and some things can't. Finder, QuickLook, iPhoto, Photoshop and Preview (and many other graphics programs) can read the note and display the picture appropriately, Safari can't. If you want to see how those on other machines might see the picture, just drag it into an open Safari window. You will see the actual state of the pixels, since Safari doesn't understand the digital note instructing programs to rotate the picture.
Now--what to do. Because of the complaints of graphic pros the Mac OS no longer automatically applies the rotation to the actual pixels....you have to do it yourself. I usually do so in Photoshop (in CS1 it is easy to batch apply the rotation, don't know about Bridge), but if you use iPhoto you can EXPORT the photo, and then the rotation will be saved and the pixels altered.
If you want to use Preview try this:
1. Open the photo and resave immediately, in the "Save as..." dialog box you'll see a line with a check box under the format information, that says "Use Exif Orientation Tag"--uncheck the box and save.
2. Reopen the photo--this time it will display the actual state of the pixels, so it will be sideways
3. Rotate so it is in portrait view
4. Save again
If you drop the photo in Safari it should now appear "correctly" and will display anywhere and everywhere in the correct orientation.
