There's a reason that Google and Apple's developer conferences this year seemed kind of blah for mainstream audiences. We're in one of those periods in tech between revolutions. Everybody agrees the next revolution will be some kind of world where previously dumb devices get "smart" and connected, but nobody knows exactly how the plumbing will work or who will come up with the killer use case that will actually get people to buy whatever they need to buy.

Azure ML's tools make it easy to import training data, and then tune the results, before publishing APIs that can be used to build intelligence into our applications.
