For someone who does not follow the Vita firmware feature additions, can you indicate if that was extreme sarcasm?
Not sarcasm. Since launch they added a Maps app, an Email app, dramatically improved the web browser and made it capable of running simultaneously with a game, added folders, added network streaming of media, added wifi file management, added easy PS Plus save management from individual games, and made controls completely remapable for PSP and PS1 games and many, many other bits and bobs I can't recall off the top of my head.

Here's a nice history of Vita updates (from Sony themselves). I think they've done a pretty good job of updates overall. That said, DLNA support is still missing, along with Video Out (VitaTV is not a solution for current owners) and I still really don't like the interface. Since launch, the interface still hasn't grown on me. I've just simply gotten use to it.
The PS4 isn't going to support DLNA? That's surprising, even the old Xbox 360 is DLNA compatible, and my PC can detect my TV.

DLNA is a given, PS3 already supports this. Maybe not on day one? 
Edit: Sony is one of the founders of the DLNA... http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Living_Network_Alliance

I don't think that was ever in doubt. PS3 got some significant upgrades for a few years (until Sony lost interest
). It just seems odd some of the things that are missing, but it's easy to forget how horribly complex and problem-fraught software development can be, and how just getting a working product out the door in time without any niceties is still quite the achievement. it's easy to forget how horribly complex and problem-fraught software development can be, and how just getting a working product out the door in time without any niceties is still quite the achievement.
How much gamer score is it worth?
This background cahching is direct result of the PlayGo system. Same system is used both for PSN and Bluray discs.
I call this win-win for everyone.
Was this posted here? It seems genuine, though perhaps without the announced Firmare 1.5 yet. It's dated on the 16th. Don't worry about not understanding the French if you don't - they say very little that's useful. Noteworthy that the browser is shown and generally seems to be detected as a mobile browser at the moment.

I suspect scf's comment was not in direct reply to yours. News seem to have just broken in that last 24 hours that 1.5 is available online (although not officially yet).
Play as you download
This feature enables users to play supported digital titles as they are being downloaded. The time it takes to begin playing will vary depending on game data size and network environments, and not all titles will support this feature When a game is purchased, users can start playing after PS4 downloads a portion of the data, while the rest of the game is downloaded in the background during actual gameplay. Games may be downloaded in stand-by mode.
Looks like is up to developers how they decide, if their title will support PlayGo and/or background caching ...
Kind of had to be the case. There's no way open world games could support it.
