Has anyone read the article about AI in the February issue of
"Technology Review"?  You can't miss it -- the cover says something
like: "In 25 years, AI has still not lived up to its promises and
there's no reason to think it ever will" (not a direct quote; I don't
have the copy with me).  General comments?

P.S.  You might notice that about 10 pages into the issue, there's
      an ad for some AI system.  I bet the advertisers were real
      pleased about the issue's contents...
