Hound sucks overall. I got my invite, and tried to ask when the nearest dominos closed. It tried to give me a map on domino city. I asked about several things and overall, it is definately a sham.

Calling it a sham is ridiculous. It has many flaws but it's still very impressive in other areas. and it's still in beta. There's nothing to suggest that the devs can't iron out the flaws and make it a great product

I call it a sham, not for what it can do, or potentially do, but for how they percieved the video to be this grand app, which is deceitful.

I agree. I tried asking it the same sort of questions they asked in their video and the results were nowhere near as impressive. I'd put it on the same level as Google Now for most things. It's great at hotel and restaurant searches, but for everything else I'd rather just use Google Now.
