There is no Machine. There never was any Machine. The Machine is an urban myth, a grand illusion, something to give your life meaning, but which is in fact not there.
Someone probably made a nice sum from the temporary stock bump...
I have a friend in HP who actually had a job on The Machine until the "hiatus." She got switched to another project when it got put on hold... but HP was actually assigning human resources to it at one point, not just making press releases.
My read on The Machine was that HP was developing the system in parallel with the memory component.
The idea was "imagine if you had a server with an insanely huge amount of non-volatile SRAM (that could hold OS, applications, and files), and no hard disk"
It was the "huge amount of non-volatile SRAM" part that the memristor was supposed to deliver and didn't.
