I dunno, it seems to me Yify's torrents are a great balance of file size and quality.

It was even pretty much done and ready to be released, but they wanted to focus on Star Fox 64. There's ROMs of it floating around on the internet if you look.
Here's Wikipedia's page on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Fox_2

For most of the iPod's lifespan it was not the best product on the market, it was just the best marketed.
I wouldn't say it was just better marketed, although that is true. It was also better designed, both in its hardware and software. An iPod in your hands felt and looked great and the scroll wheel made it intuitive to use. Anyone could easily pick it up and check out what you had in your library.
Before I had one, I had an iRiver iHP-120[0], which had a plethora of features an iPod didn't have. But it was ridiculously hard to use if you didn't know what you were doing.

Definitely. It'd be cool if someone could get the text-to-speech synthesizer to follow a single BPM and time signature. Then throw some drum loops and ambient sounds over that that would switch up every file.

To write a secure online multiplayer game in javascript, the server would have to assume the client has been compromised by default and verify everything server-side. This wouldn't work for anything fast paced, but it'd suffice for RPGs and puzzle games.
For example, in an RPG, a client says it's moved 5 tiles north. The server receives it, but before broadcasting it to other players, the server would have to read the map and make sure it's valid (e.g. there's nothing in the way).

"True, but I personally can say that I'm very happy to hear this, as I've been hoping for a serious contender besides Android and IOS."
Give it a couple years. Samsung's the biggest manufacturer of Android devices and they've been working on Tizen[0] to curtail their dependency on Google.

I believe that would be this great write up on the current situation: http://www.theawl.com/2013/12/the-new-spammer-panic

It was double that, actually: $1.65 billion. But the point remains valid, that was some incredible foresight on Google's part, even if everyone at the time thought it was a ridiculous amount.
