Origin of Life. Big news?

This seems like pretty big news:

Although I'm a little bit skeptical, just because it isn't making really big headlines. It seems, though, that this is the first case I've read about where a naturally generated replicator was produced. I don't have enough knowledge of the subject to say this is a really big deal, or this is no big deal, but it seems like it could be a pretty big deal to me.

An excerpt:

"Matsuo and Kurihara created a non-living building block capable of replicating itself using amino acids (the basic components of proteins) which acted as the progenitor. The researchers then applied water (at normal temperature) to the molecules, which then joined together and formed proteins under standard pressure."

Sounds significant to me.
