You ask for a source giving a specific viewpoint on SOPA/PIPA that is also as unbiased as possible?

The savings from using Chinese labor is actually estimated at 23%:

Employees at Foxconn who put together iPhones earn 31 cents an hour. Clearly anyone who isn't willing to fly to China to get a 31 cent/hour job is too lazy to be employed.
Does copyright law in Slovakia have the notion of fair use applied as it does in the U.S.? Without fair use of copyrighted materials as a middle ground you'd have a much harder time arguing that news articles can be copyrighted.
Groupon only gives the actual vendors half the money, so if a groupon user paid £6.50 the retailer would receive £3.25, so she was spending about £6 to make a dozen cupcakes and charging £26. Those are indeed some very healthy margins.
It's 1 minute 23 seconds.

The classic example is JavaScript-rendered dynamic content. This tends not to work so well when you're dealing with search engines. However, if you can serve them a static page that contains the text of the page minus all the rendering, then it can index the content without choking on the JavaScript. I'm not sure how important this is these days, but it certainly was a problem at one time.
That's what the noscript tag is for
It's also useful to serve modified versions for search engines so that searches for content within your site can return more relevant results. For example, you might insert certain keywords that describe the content of the page using terms that don't actually appear. Case in point, your page talks about Airport, but you serve a copy to Google that inserts the terms 802.11 and Wi-Fi.
That's what the meta name=keywords tag is for
Finally, there's the question of bandwidth and CPU overhead. If your site changes a lot, Google beats on your servers rather frequently. You can reduce the bandwidth hit by stripping JavaScript, CSS, images, etc. from your content before serving it to Google. This won't significantly change the searchability of the content, but will reduce the bandwidth overhead. And, of course, if there are static versions of content that you can serve instead of a server-side-dynamic version, this also saves on CPU overhead.
Google spiders text, not images. It also doesn't spider the text of css or javascript files. Also, I question how effective it is to dynamically decide to serve a static page based on a user-agent as opposed to merely serving everyone the dynamic page.
Jailbreaking is breaking out of a software-based jail, necessary to gain access to anything outside of a sandbox. On an iPhone this is necessary before one can root the device.
Rooting is simply gaining root privileges, and is all that is needed here.
It would be like forcing an ISP to take responsibility for a copyright infringer.
But Officer, I stopped for the last one, and it was green!
