There is a definite problem with scientific hype right now.  A great number 
of companies are making announcements about various breakthroughs in AI, 
nanotech, biotech, computers, genetics, technology, etc.  Many of them are 
just media hype meant to boost their stock to get money so they can really 
try to invent something.  I wish there was a better way to really get the 
facts to evaluate all these new reports.  It is almost to the point that I 
hesitate to read [>Htech] because I don't believe half of it.
