I agree to a point. "Machine learning" is a way of explaining computational statistics to a group of people that don't understand computation and don't understand statistics. "The Internet of Things" is a way of selling telemetry to people who certainly understand instrumentation and sensors but are suspect of your desire to profit by putting them where they may not belong. 'cuz that's the other aspect of "The Internet of Things" - it implies that machines can't talk to each other unless they've got an IP address. This is true if you want to tie them into 4square or Twitter or Facebook or Google... but even a diaper doesn't need a twitter feed to tell you it needs changing.
