much like the "I, Robot" adaption with Will Smith
Funny, I never knew there was an "I, Robot" adaption. I mean, I saw a film with Will Smith in it which had the same name as I Robot, but that film was nothing like Asimov's collection of short stories. In fact, if I remember correctly, Asimov voiced his distaste for hollywood-style movies where robots kill people in the preface to his book.

I think this link answers all your questions.
After a quick first glance, it seems like it isn't doing anything that a good web designer shouldn't have already have done. Then again, the percentage of well-designed pages out there mean this could still provide a speedup...
I did read through Malstrom's explanation of Nintendo's "Disruption" strategy, and found it quite eye-opening.
However, I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you on the hardcore's reaction to NSMBW. Although you may have described the reaction of a portion of the hardcore, all the "hardcore" gamers who I know actually enjoyed NSMBW a lot, praising the way Nintendo wasn't afraid to put in difficult levels, and the way that the multiplayer "co-op" could be easily played competitively, with all the players trying to throw each other off ledges/push them into lava/jump off each others heads. The hardcore is not opposed to 2D gameplay - see the success of Street Fighter IV compared to other 3D fighting games.
This is part of Nintendo's genius -- NSMBW caters to a wide slice of the market.
And of course, the most important missing answer:
My battery exploded, you insensitive clod!
Although I concede that this is a good thing, I can't help but question who this feature is for. Surely all the privacy-concious people who want SSL search have already moved to other search engines (given google's questionable record on privacy issues)? SSL will only protect against man-in-the-middle attacks; if anything, it's meaningless privacy theatre.
Yes, yes they did notice that. When they reported it, they were told it was a malfunction.
There are plenty of real credit card processors that don't act like thugs.
Please, please tell me who these are. If there are any UK alternatives which charge less than/similar rates to PayPal, I'll be able to switch to them and won't have to implement PayPal's badly documented API.
The reason for PayPal's dominance is that everybody's heard of them; if you're a small organisation wanted to easily accept credit cards, you pick PayPal without even considering the alternatives.
You think that's evil? You haven't seen Bastet
Theoretically, that shouldn't make a difference, and if it does, there's something wrong with the random number generator.
