You know all that big data that’s streaming into your company from sensors, customers, social media, Excel spreadsheets, and data sources all over the internet? Microsoft wants to help you process all of it, build APIs and make use of that data in the cloud with machine learning technology. "Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate."

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?

If your major problem of Linux Kernel is the version-number schema, it is time for you to leave...

Haha, the joke is on them, because my quadcore in my Nexus 7 is so busy doing nothing that it cannot even process their malware, so I guess Google+, GoogleNote, GoogleThing, GoogleBooks, GoogleMagazines, GooglePlay, GoogleSearch, GoogleTalk, GoogleAppWatcher, GoogleOtherThing, GoogleCpuEater, and all the rest have really played the joke on malware.
