Oh-come-on. With the same logic, neural-nets were applied in a thousand and one domains. The problem of object tracking has been solved a thousand times in the past. Even if Numenta's algorithm is better at it than every other solution, you still can't call this a major result! Even Hawkins himself has admitted that his hierarchical network design hasn't caused the huge bang that he expected it to cause.
