Indeed, the big-data winter is just waiting to happen, after all the hot air that has been produced (& continues to be). Anyway, it's very nice to see the media hype put in perspective for a change.
I can see how some people might feel like being between a rock and a hard place: The data firehoses are all in place, our key-value stores are getting fuller by the hour, and we're supposed to sit and wait for decades before we'll be able to make any sense of it? I wouldn't be surprised if some will much rather play roulette today than make a sure bet in 10+ yrs.
