Data science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Data science is the study of the generalizable extraction of knowledge from data,[1] yet the key word is science.[2] It incorporates varying elements and builds on techniques and theories from many fields, including signal processing, mathematics,probability models, machine learning, statistical learning, computer programming, data engineering, pattern recognition and learning, visualization, uncertainty modeling, data warehousing, and high performance computing with the goal of extracting meaning from data and creating data products.

ML: Azure Machine Learning (!)
Cloud Cover 151: Azure Machine Learning with Parmita Mehta | Microsoft Azure Cloud Cover Show | Channel 9:
"... an overview of the new Azure Cloud Machine Learning Service...
(demo) uses Cloud ML to predict family income level based off of census data. This is tested using modules pre-built by MS Research, Xbox, and Bing! After building and testing out an experiment, Parmita shows how easy it is to push the experiment to production as a web service which can be used to run individual tests or batches."

Microsoft Windows 7 Mainstream Support to End Starting January 2015:
"Microsoft is set to pull the plug on mainstream support for Windows 7, the operating system that continues to run on more than 50% of the world's computers.
Windows 7 users across the globe will be pointed towards Microsoft's extended-support scheme from January 2015, where security fixes will be provided free of cost by the company, but hotfix updates will need to be paid for."
Microsoft Focussing Intensively on Windows 9: Announces 'Business' 'End of Support' for Windows 8.1

So, to get "updates", you must first get "update 1." :) Brilliant marketing...
Windows updates are becoming a real challenge even for regular users, not to mention admins.
Is it time for Chrome-like auto updates, that are small and fast?

Google Cloud Platform Blog: An update on container support on Google Cloud Platform
"Everything at Google, from Search to Gmail, is packaged and run in a Linux container. Each week we launch more than 2 billion container instances across our global data centers, and the power of containers has enabled both more reliable services and higher, more-efficient scalability. Now we’re taking another step toward making those capabilities available to developers everywhere."
