I hold the writers and editors of this press release in high regard.<p>The message however, is typical of the hyperbole, ultra-positive marketspeak/corporatespeak that one expects for such things.<p>Here is my list of short phrases and words that I think they clearly want to hammer home:<p>important milestone;

What on earth is the purpose of the "August 1, 2012" date in the title, other than to be confusing?<p>EDIT: And I mean the title of the blog post itself. I understand that the link here is just echoing the post's title.
