You hit the nail the head. I too think that language plays a major factor in outsourcing. Take another developed vs. developing country with the same language for example: Taiwan vs. China. One of the hot-button issues in Taiwan is that corporations are moving manufactoring facilities and/or investing more and more in China. Almost all labor work are oursourced to China. Coupled with the hostile attitude between the two (it's probably only one way to be precise), no wonder an uneasy feeling has elevated among the island country. Nevertheless, I'm sure there is no stopping this trend, at least in the case of Taiwan and China.
One of my Taiwanese friend who recently left Hon Hai (Foxconn) worked in a manufacturing factory in Guang Zhou. His department was in charge of two things, the Nano and the iPhone. I met him just before Nano hit the streets and among other things he accurately described what was coming out of Steve's sleeve. So I believe his story about iPhone.
But then you don't know neither me or my friend, so you'll probably want to take this with a grain of salt.
Regarding manually changing PageRank, didn't Google delistedbmw.de in Febuary? Does this constitute manual tempering?
How the hell did you come to the conclusion...

The Great HDCP Fiasco

that only OEM computers will be truely HDCP compatible? TFA only states that current topnotch graphic cards lack the chips with crypto keys and advise to hold off purchasing a shiny new video card. Nowhere did it say that future cards won't have that chip built in.
Indeed text-only ads are the majority of the AdWords program, but Google does do image ads. They are, however, syndicated out to selected websites and will not be served on Google.com.
Going along the lines, given that Taiwan is not a member of UN while China is, once China has a say in this matter it is foreseeable that the.tw domain would soon disappear and replaced by or redirected to.cn domain.

John Battelle interviewed EFF's Fred von Lohmann, asking him about YouTube's legal issue and Google's role in it.
Then it implies that Google can run AdSense ads along side AP stories. More ad revenues!
