When you inevitably unbox your new iPad, though, just remember that Apple has done little more than cram a bunch of bits inside a slick tablet chassis; bits that, except for the display, aren’t very exciting at all.
I feel this statement makes little sense since the display is the thing you're going to be interacting with the most.

It doesn't seem that surprising. Just digging around in the passive DNS database at work, I see CloudFlare has their name servers in the NS records of several 10's of thousands of domains. I'm fairly sure that given the scope of the sources of this data, that list is nowhere near complete.

Not surprising. There's at least one collection project that had already been running several years at that time: http://wigle.net/

Some of those numbers don't look correct at all. For example I can't find any host name that takes longer than ~500ms to do DNS resolution over 3G. (That's almost worst case scenario, where everything except the TLD is uncached.)
