The number of cash grabs (posthumous releases) after the author passed away does not reflect the quality of his work.
New Technology. Americans wait and see if it works there and then see if it can be adapted. The japanese tend to be very avant garde when it comes to new tech. If you know anyone who has lived there ask them about the gadgets available on the market. It will blow your mind.
This will backfire in the long run:
Jobs move overseas, workers in america lose their jobs, therefore have no money to purchase products and services from abroad. Foreign economy is not big enough to absorb all these goods and services, so what now? What will this global economy leads to?

Part of the reason IBM was able to create a program that beat a human was the fact that human chess masters prepare for a particular opponent (they study styles, weaknesses, etc), IBM never made any of this info on their program available, but did prep their machine to play a particular master.
No, but it is hard to believe that users who fancy themselves the intellectual elite of modern society do not even have a basic grasp of the language they speak.
20% of the world is not on the net. Considering that 85% of the world population cannot feed itself properly, let alone have access to a computer, I think your estimate is a bit off.
Same reason advertisers put billboards on highways and fill magazines with ads. They don't care wheter you want it or not, they are just trying to make a buck.
