this could cause problem with some CDN / cloud providers too...like xyz.some.site.com.amazonaws.com, which will only show as "amazonaws.com"? or some country with 3 level domains like shop.co.jp?

time is money, and you can enjoy the latest tech earlier than most others (rather than wait for 1 year...). If money is not a problem to you, why not?

As I know, there is no DNA inside virus, just RNA fragments. That's why they need to find a host (a cell) to infect and take over their control center. (correct me if i'm wrong)

You are sure it is 'snappy'? I bet 13.10 would be buggy as hell, and breaks lots of compatibility. They want the world become their beta tester before LTS.

It is most supported distro from commercial vendors, e.g. Steam. They'll choose to compatible with Ubuntu first before everything else. And it has a large community to ask for support & help. For other unpopular distros, you maybe on your own.

They are simply exaggerating the figures. Even for editing HD content I'd convert the video into motion JPEG or huffyuv format which is still losslessly compressed. Who will editing the video in its uncompressed form?
