How about tossing in shamelessly promoted "sister sites" like V3?
Not sure how you throw a data centre onto a bonfire (unless the bonfire is the size of a large building?) and are they suggesting burning people alive too (data centre managers are included in their hate-fest)?
I think tablets have a reasonable niche (couch potatoes and bed-surfers), but as the article points out, cheap tablets can be a diabolical experience.
I have a firesale HP TouchPad (yes, with both webOS and Android on it) and that's a reasonable tablet at a very cheap price, but there's nothing else under 200 quid that's even worth considering - until there is, I do agree that tablets over 200 quid are a 100% waste of money. Get a decent netbook or small screen laptop instead - the physical keyboard alone improves productivity no end.
I think they're harsh about Google+ - it's the newest big boy social network and yet another one I won't join, so I have serious apathy towards it and all its brethren. Just bonfire the lot of them if you ask me :-)
