What bothers me most is that Larry's fifth

"Digital Universe Encyclopedia") have not surfaced yet. Larry might or
might not use the argument that he does not bear responsibility in
having the EoE miss about three announced dates to be released. During
the talk, he did not mention those projects a single time (only after
I specifically asked him about this).
That guy does seem to be creating a lot of "vaporware". He seems to
be of the school of thought that holds that the way to launch a
project is to first get a lot of "buzz" going about how innovative
it's going to be, and afterward start thinking about actually
launching it someday. In contrast, Wikipedia got started by actually
getting started... the hype and chitchat came later.
