When we say one company is 'taking shortcuts', what does this mean?
“We can tell when an automaker has taken shortcuts, and we pay close attention to improvements and omissions in each new vehicle that may be important to consumers.”
When we say one company is 'taking shortcuts', that means praising it improves greatly, or criticizing it does something ashamed for good sale?

In what CNNMoney.com called "one of the most ambitious product launches in its history," Apple unveiled not only Apple Pay, but also the long-anticipated Apple Watch.
Does "one of the most ambitious product launches in its history," mean Apple Pay, Apple Watch, or both?
Thanks for your help.

Some Thoughts About the Animation Up
I watched an impressive animation that deeply moved me called Up.
This animation tells a story that a couple likes adventure, and they want to move their house to Paradise Falls, where a beautiful place in South America. The husband promises his wife they will go there one day, cross his heart. But their plan is delayed by this cause or another until they are too old to go there. His wife has gone and can never come back. The husband is out to keep his promise. To do so, he float his house by hundreds of balloons.
In this incredible adventure experience, he meets a "annoy" boy who can never stop talking, a cute bird called Snipe, a faithful dog called Dug, and a bad explorer who feeds many bad dogs. Absolutely, the end is the good beat the evil, but not boring at all!
After watching this animation, I feel I can't wait for taking an adventure with my girlfriend while we are young, and I have more responsibility feelings on family. What's more, I want a dog!

Evolving Eyes and The Avengers
Strangely, my right eye gets red these days. That may because I spent a lot of time playing computer games and sleep much less. However, I wish my eyes were evolving so that I could get the ability of Hawkeye or Spiderman.
I went to the cinema to see The Avengers. It's really an excellent movie that all of my friends love it. My favorite role is Hulk, who rides a mini motor to fight with evils. I think he is the most powerful in Avengers, strong muscle, hard skin, endless energy, high IQ… I'm going to buy DVD to see it at home again after the DVD version released.
"I have an army."
"We have a hulk."

Is this expression correct?
I was reading a book and saw a sentence that confused me. Here is the sentence:
It's a good father that knows his son.
The book said this sentence doesn't means the father knows his son. It means "Even the best father doesn't completely know his son".
And here are more examples:
It's a good horse that never stumbles. ( means even the best horse stumbles)
It's a good machine that works without power. ( means even the best machine cannot work without power).
Is this book correct? How can I tell the real meaning like these sentences?
Thank you all.

Learn English by fictions
After infinite failure in login to Diablo III, I decided to give up trying it again. I decided to read a song of ice and fire that I ordered on 360buy, the best B2C website in China I think.
I bought 2 versions of this book. One is English version, and the other one is Chinese version. I'd like to learn English according to this fiction. After reading 4 pages of English version, I found it a little bit difficult for me. I haven't got costumed to reading a fiction in English, especially not a fantastic book.
When meeting any sentences hard to understand, I checked them on Chinese version, and then wrote down the points that I don't know. That may be or may not be an effective way to learn English, but who knows; I just keep trying to understand the story, that’s all. It is very slow to finish reading this book, but I feel great I can understand all the sentences when I reread the past content.

My horrible weekend
Blizzard, one of the world's most famous entertainment companies, has released Diablo III on May 15, 2012.
To me, Diablo series is not only a game, but memories of my teenager time. I started to play Diablo II when I was 13 years old with my first computer that is comprised of Celeron 366 CPU, 32 Mb memories, and 4 Gb hard disk. I bought pirated CDs at first, and I have played pirated Diablo II for 5 years; 69 RMB means much for a middle school student. When going to high school, I could get more money from parents. I bought an authorized one immediately even though I spent far less time on it then.
Now, Diablo III has been released in all over the world but blocked China. I have waited it for more than 10 years and I cannot wait anymore. Diablo III has a global version that allows gamers to play it on world wide servers with one account. So I downloaded it and bought CD-key with my credit card on US server last Friday; I started to dream an excellent weekend.
I rushed home after work last Friday. Powering on my computer, entering into game, inputting my account, I stared at the screen with a bumping heart. 1 second, 2 second, 3 second, finally, a pop-up showed "The server is busy, Error 37". That's OK, I'm always patient as a gamer and then I tried again. Error 37, again, error 37, again, error 37…
After one million times (about 4 hours), I entered the game! I was soooo excited that I wanna cry! Then I created my character and got ready to start my new adventure. Snacks and Coke had been prepared for whole night fight. I feel like a worrier to kill all my enemies!
Suddenly, the suck pop-up came out again and said I disconnected with server!!!! I just want to crush my computer!!! Then I decided to go to sleep with angry in my heart. That was 1 a.m.
I got up about 8 a.m. next morning. The first thing was power on my computer and I found the servers were maintained. They could be available about 9 a.m. according to official information. I typed in my account at 9 a.m. In fact, I was hopeless to play it after last night, but Miracle happened, I joined the game smoothly!!! I screamed out!!!
I adventured in Diablo world whole morning. The game is great! But I disconnected again at noon. I didn't get in on that day, and the same situation on Sunday. I was exhausted by the network.
Now I wanna kill my network operator; he destroyed my weekend, my hope, and my wait.

Can two adjective be used continuously without a comma?
I'm not sure if I am understood. For example,
"Some vendors possess remarkable technological strengths.".
In this case, it uses "remarkable technological strengths". Is it right? Or can we only say
"remarkably technological strengths"
"remarkable, technological strengths"
"remarkable and technological strengths"?
Thanks!
