As an argentine actor (working in independent theater, not commercial) I'm surprised by your comments. Here in Argentina musical theater is a very popular form which goes far beyond "teatro de revista"... both through or own productions (Dracula, El Jorobado de Notre Damme, etc.) as well as excelent local adaptations of foreign plays (Les Miserables, Chicago, Hedwigg and the angry inch, etc.) performed by some of our most talented singer/actors...
Also, I think you're too quick to dismiss wonderful musicals such as The Lion King, Mel Brooks' The Producers or Avenue Q... which might not rate as high as Moliere or Shakespeare... but what does?

My opinion was original and I first stated it one or two days ago to a friend of mine before reading TFA. I don't think it's so original that nobody else can come up with it on their own.
DNS is just a big extortion racket... I can imagine that Google will make sure to register google.xxx, gmail.xxx, youtube.xxx, etc. just like Facebook and any other big site. Celebrities are probably being advised to register their names (e.g. sandrabullock.xxx). It's the same as with the

Try reading the Lostpedia (lostpedia.wikia.com) entries on The Others and Dharma. They don't add any new data, but order and sum it up in a way that makes it seem like there's not much left to explain.
Who is good at predictions?
Revolutionary sites like Amazon, Facebook or Twitter are just the ones that made it among hundred others who dissapeared. The same can be said of apps or consumer products. When you look at the whole group its hard to give all the credit to the ones that survived... it looks more like they just happened to be in the lucky spot.
Once companies become big and established it's a rare of them to make a huge bang with a new revolutionary product. Take Google, which is supposed to be the antithesis to stagnant Microsoft... they bought a lot of their products from small lucky companies (e.g. Google Maps, based on Google Earth which was Keyhole before) and their own developments (like Google Desktop, Google Buzz or Google Wave) have often failed to amaze.
Notable exceptions: Apple and Nintendo, among a few others.
