Very interesting article, but I think it's a little premature for them to be announcing a figure on the numbers of terrestrial worlds...or more specifically Earth like planets...that they'll find. That should wait until they have a better grip on just how many they do find, and from more than just one survey mission like Kepler. Although, the results are still very important in our understanding of what's out there.

6 weeks....Kepler's been up longer than that. Anyone remember when it was launched???. I think it was in March, wasn't it??
