CEO and "confused" in the same sentence is a bad thing. If anybody should know WTF it should be that guy.

GameBoy. Super Nintendo. Nintendo DS (sorry, I'm a fanboy).

Honestly I think getting into the search market is a waste of time. Too many fish in the sea, and too many sea monsters.

Also: why no API? :)

Not understanding something isn't a reason it's not good...

Eh, not much value in this article. Really, you take a fantastic set of tools like symfony, and shrug it off with a one-liner like "over-engineered?" Lousy and unfair.
