It's good, but I clicked through hoping it was actually announcing some new feature/power - this really is nothing but a PR statement and a nice but oh-so-cursory introduction to Franz Och.
I'm a little suspicious. I note that Google serves the ads on the site. And now look at that author's list of recent articles - it's almost entirely Google. And articles about the Buzz cockup, for example, start ("Google moved quickly over the weekend to try to contain mounting criticism of Buzz") and finish ("“I suspect Google might have a minor hit on its hands already,” he said.") on quite positive notes.
I don't want to step up any allegations of dishonesty, it's more likely to be lax or fanboyish journalism, but it's really quite poor stuff from that journalist.
