None of those things on that list are necessary to prolong the life of the player.

The most fragile part of the player is the hard disks, and those can be replaced. A couple of your items would help protect the hard disks (don't run it upside-down, don't leave it out in the cold), but those tips are already in the FAQ, and they don't affect the the non-replaceable parts of the player itself.

Otherwise it doesn't need any special care above and beyond any other electronic device, i.e., don't drop it, smash it, or pour soup on it. But you don't need a list or a FAQ to tell you that.
