Sounds really neat, but "2017 - next decade" is the engineering estimate version of "sometime, maybe never".

Yup. They lost me at "The company says it will bring the Machine to market within the next few years".

I have my doubts too. Also the announcement looks a bit like the earlier case of HP almost betting the company on the acquisition of Autonomy (if that was the right name of that company it acquired a few years ago, before writing it off).
