Don't tink we need be concerned about HP's "the machine"

For one thing they are talking about the start of the next decade before it can be used and next there seems to be a whole lot of things that can go wrong for them in that period of time.

"HP is building a new way to compute from the ground up," said chief executive Meg Whitman in a keynote speech at HP Discover on Wednesday. "We've been talking about many of the component technologies for some time. Now we're bringing them together in a single project to make a new computer architecture available by the end of the decade."

The Machine depends on many technologies, but the most fundamental one is the memristor – an HP project that at first looked like a golden goose and quickly became an albatross.

POET will have taken over the world by then.
