The comments here seem to undercut Cornell's technical pedigree and completely discount the fact that this is a joint proposal with the Technion - The Israeli Institute of Technology. Today's press conference, which I watched in its entiret

/rant/ You know what I think is "a big fat pile of suck"? This guy and his hack blog post. Congrats, you figured out what O(n) means. You know, this stuff is not magic. You can't magically say, hey database, give me everything I want and do
