I was first exposed to HTMs through Jeff Hawkins' book "On Intelligence". I found the explanatory power behind HTMs comparable to what the theory of evolution could do. That got me both excited and cautious ... or perhaps "cautiously optimistic" is the right phrase. Glad to see Numenta making strides here in a way that keeps them anchored in today's problems, but the announcement page reads like a business "story" and I imagine some Numenta engineers groaning behind the scenes :)

Alan Kay said that he would be the "first and the loudest to applaud" when HTMs show significant results. It doesnt mean as much but I would certainly compete with him for that position :)
