Not to rain on anyone's parade, but where are the hard facts? HP has that solution in The Machine. By discarding a computing model that has stood unchallenged for sixty years, we are poised to leave sixty years of compromises and inefficiencies behind. We’re pushing the boundaries of the physics behind IT, using electrons for computation, photons for communication, and ions for storage. Where is the review of the hardware? The pictures? Prices? I'm glad that you're having fun there, getting your 15 minutes of fame, making a living doing R&D. I'm sure you work hard. I wish that when you publicized - you had something more than a generic PR site with pablum. I'm sincerely interested in what you're doing. Please show actual prototypes, or there's nothing to prove to us it's not Vaporware. I'd be more satisfied your tithe is justified. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8RyKrREzuI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8RyKrREzuI

Excuse my ignorance, but isn't the project a little early in development to have reviews, pictures(not really sure what pictures you expect to see anyway) or pricing? From what I understand, it's still in the POC stages. I agree that the site was very light on details, and quite pr-ey though.

  People have personalities. If you don't like people's personality, or at least give them the benefit of the doubt and assume good faith - do expect other's to just lobotomize themselves for you? When I said that, it's really my initial impression and feeling. It's a comment. I think, if done civilly, people can be allowed to express themselves without being PC robots. Edit: Oh sorry, When I said "Having fun, getting 15 minutes of fame", I meant those as two separate things. However, it reads as if I'm brushing them off.

    I hear you about expressing feeling, and it's a fair point. The problem is that some of those expressions, perhaps normal in regular conversation, become volatile chemicals online. There's too much room for misinterpretation, and the downside is unbounded. The rules on HN aren't anti-personality, they're based on long experience with what we all have to do to maintain the substantiveness and civility of the discourse. It's a tradeoff. The cost is a certain blandness sometimes. But the alternative would, in the long run, ruin the community.
