One could probably build a robot that can do all some or all the above things.
I think the difficulty in playing a guitar or any other instrucment lies somewhere else.
Apart from the utter lack of creativity, the real problem with machines is that it is too perfect. It is going to on time everytime: how boring.
As my friend once mentioned, great musicians are the ones who make mistakes and (more importantly) those who can recover from the mistake, always giving the impression that thats what they intended.
But you can make a bunch of these, add a hand signal recognition feature and we can have a Byteharmonic Orchestra.
If I am not wrong, the Spruce Goose flew just once. It did manage to get a few spectacular meters above the ground. Some of the stats where mere projections.
It is interesting to note that they chose the title tag to put-in the keywords. This could mean the ranking algorithm attaches more significance to the content within the title tag.
But, it could also be the case that they don't want to make the cached page have a cluterred look by putting in the words on the page itself.
On a orthogonal note, I am wondering if Google indexes white text on white background. If that is the case, just one page could then serve the evil purpose.
The attempt to build and fly the first plane was more of a race with several competing teams. The idea of the plane itself was not conceived by the Wright brothers but they were the first to build one which could fly reasonably well. Engines existed, there were people who knew a little bit about aerodynamics, the brothers put together the idea into practice.
I wonder if they thought that they be given royalty for every plane that was built.
I think the list does provide some interesting information. For example, if you go through the popular men's list, you'll find Bob Marley is the only person with staying power among people form the past. List of consumer and computer goods could be very valuable to strategists as this provides the most accurate pulse of the general public; atleast more accurate then the ones we get from surveys that involve just a few hundred people.
It would also be interesting to normalize the number of hits based on the number of internet users from each country and see how the entries in the list changes.
Talking about acronyms, I was looking for something related to RDF (Resource Description Framework) and here are some of the things I found:
RDF also stands for:

Remove biotechnology, physics and nanotechnology from the list and we have top seven advances in computing.
