The possibility of a site getting hacked or being attacked may be low but not unexpected. Many of these services don't know your actual passwords, they just have a file that's cryptographically secure with your passwords in there which in the case of an actual breach, only you (the owner/creator of said password list) has the keys to get into it. You just have to be responsible enough to know where your keys are to get at that list or it's lost for good. The likelihood of someone actually cracking into those password files without knowing the password is actually much lower than the site storing them getting compromised. And in the event of 1password, if and when they become aware of a breach they're usually upfront about it and require you to reset your master password before you can use the service again for the sake of security.

The review seems a bit biased. Sure, Apple may have a head start in many aspects but this is just generalizing and reading between the lines of a different review with assumptions and speculation peppered throughout. The Android platform may not be the perfect developer ecosystem when compared to itunes and iOS apps, but there's plenty of gems and the developers behind them will eventually crawl onto larger screens when they figure it out and have the time. There's plenty of applications already in the marketplace for legitimately getting media onto the device which Marco either overlooked or dismissed. The Android marketplace even has a movie rental section which isn't hard to miss either.
The good reason for picking an Android tablet over an iPad? Easy, no stupid lock-ins.
Not sure if I'm 100% accurate with this answer, but I've seen stuff like this in the past with some of my own sites and logs. My take on it is that if you visit any one of those sites, it's typically SEO linkbait garbage where the person who owns the domain in question simply feeds the user/search engine exactly what they're looking for to gain rank. Then either a crawler will follow it to map or a naive user will follow the link and you'll see it in your analytics logs later.
Pretty sure there's a little more to it, but that's my best assessment of what's going on until someone else has a better explanation.
