This is exactly how ZK Framework and GWT work, you just write you programs in Java and they generate Javascript for you while taking into account browsers incompatiblities and indeed I believe it's the future if Web development.

I have experienced this problem too, since I have associated my Google with my Youtube account, to avoid it, you need to log directly with your Youtube account even with the Google invite.

Same thing here (Morocco) for nearly two weeks now, all Google sites are affected (google.com, Gmail, Blogspot, Youtube, etc.), even doubleclick.net and the domain serving adwords (don't remember the exact) are afected too, which has the effect of slowing the numerous sites using them. I have noticed that this has coincided with a new surge of conflics between Google and the chinese governement, I wonder if this a a massive DDOS attack as a retaliation by pro-governement Chinese hackers, this has already happened in the past.

Yes never ! all what Artificial Intelligence can achieve is solving some problems in very narrow domains, and when it's done you can call it a program. To acquiere a Human Intelligence you need social interaction with other humans beings, you need emotion, you need to acquire the human language, intelligence expresses itself in the human language thus Intelligence = language, this is something a machine will never be able to achieve. What make you a human is the language you speak, this is why Wild Childs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wild_Child) are not humans.
