This could be anything, and be completely unrelated to meteor or related in a way that has no bearing on the claims of the article. He did just launch, after all.
But I am perhaps a bit biased, I already think Meteor is a joke of a product.
Not some silly NodeJS/MongoDB API.
Meteor is fantastic and has changed the way we should develop web products forever, and more importantly has opened up a whole new set of expectations for what websites should be capable of. Websites are going to become living breathing creatures as a result. Meteor will lead to a truly collaborative realtime web--one where viewing any website is a group activity, rather than a private one.
