I’m guessing the film wants to create a sense of claustrophobia by keeping us in one place. The Skype heads and YouTube videos do much the same job as found footage has done in other films but watching someone else on their computer is fundamentally dull and the film doesn’t quite do enough to combat that.The whole reason our teen heroine (Shelley Hennig) is stuck on Skype is because she and her friends were once mates with Laura Barns (Heather Sossaman), until she tragically killed herself after some extreme cyber-bullying following the posting of a drunken video of her. As the self-entitled brats are messing about online, Laura joins their Skype call, starts sending them messages, photos and videos and, ultimately, forces them to be suicidal.Her goal is to get them to admit what a horrible bunch of little shits they are, and boy does she deliver. These teenagers aren’t just privileged, annoying and self-involved, they’re also utter assholes. And not just to people they don’t think are cool enough but even more so to each other. The scene is set when, just before inviting the sixth member of their toxic little crew into the Skype call, they have a good moan about how most of them don’t like her very much.

Horror movies don’t really need you to empathise with the victims, so the fact that you can’t wait for Laura to pick them off, one suicide at a time, doesn’t really detract from the film. There just aren’t enough chills and thrills to carry you through the horror of that melting stutter thing that Skype video does when you move your laptop, the pinwheels, the waiting for files to load and other annoyances of computer use you have to live through with the screen-teens. Buffering is not a good tension-building device: it’s just irritating.There are a few creepy bits and a couple of gruesome moments, but overall, Unfriended seems more like a revenge movie than a horror. You shouldn’t really walk out of a horror film feeling cheerful about the deaths of some kids and glad that the evil possessive spirit got their day online. You should have at least some niggling chills running down your spine, a couple of images you wish you hadn’t seen seared into your brain.Containerisation has taken the data centre by storm. Led by Docker, a start-up that's on a mission to make development and deployment as simple as it should be, Linux containers are fast changing the way developers work and devops teams deploy.

Containerisation is such a powerful idea that it's only slightly hyperbolic to suggest that the future of servers will not include operating systems as we think of them today.To be sure it's still a ways off, but containerisation is likely to completely replace traditional operating systems – whether Linux, Windows, Solaris or FreeBSD – on servers. Instead, servers will consist of simple, single-user installs of hypervisors optimised for the specific hardware. Atop that bare-metal layer will be the containers full of applications.Like many things to come out of Linux, containerisation is not new – in fact, the tools have been part of the kernel since 2008. But just as it took GitHub to finally push Git to mainstream developer popularity, the containerisation tools in Linux did not really start to catch on until Docker came along.Docker is not the only containerisation tool out there, but it is currently leading the pack in both mind share and actual use. Google, Amazon and even Microsoft have been tripping over themselves to make sure their clouds offer full Docker integration. Google has even open-sourced its own Docker management tool.

But what is a "container" and why is it suddenly such a big deal? Moreover, is the future here now?The shortest answer is that containers are static application environments, which means much more reliable deployments.Solomon Hykes, Docker's founder and chief technology officer, likes to compare Docker containers to shipping containers (the company's logo is a collection of shipping containers riding on the back of a whale). Like the current devops world today, the shipping industry of old lacked standards. To ship something you just stuck it in whatever container you liked and it was loaded on a ship. That meant ships had thousands upon thousands of different different containers of all shapes and sizes.Then the shipping industry standardised around the colourful, but regularly-sized shipping containers you see stacked all over the docks today (this is the origin of Docker's name). The standardised containers mean that the shipping companies no longer need to worry about the actual freight, they can just stack containers on ship after ship without worrying about what will fit where.

Windows chief Terry Myerson in the thick of friendlies at Microsoft’s Build conference has predicted one billion devices will be running Windows 10 in its first two to three years.He reckons the big lift will come from a wave of Windows 7 users upgrading to Windows 10 and people buying 2-in-1s – laptops that double as tablets. He apparently believes Windows 10 will unleash a demand, pent up since Windows Vista, for something new.“One thing we haven’t had – a great Windows release could drive people to refresh their PC... I see people with these Windows 7 PCs and I look at a great new 2-in-1 device with touch and I think there’s so much more you could have. I’m a little more optimistic.”It's not clear how Myerson expects Microsoft to hit that number. Bloomberg didn't push him. What is certain, however, is that you should forget the Redmond brainwashing on mobile first, on devices and on HoloLens.None of these are going to shift Windows 10 anywhere near that billion number. It’ll be the good, old-fashioned PC – and that’s a important given just how far Microsoft is trying to persuade Android and iOS developers they should have their applications run on Windows 10.

Myerson has set Windows 10 a goal of hitting one billion devices in the three years after it’s launch, expected later this year. Can Microsoft hit that? Gartner expects 422,726 million units running Windows will ship by the end of 2015 – that's expected to be a 17.4 per cent up increase over 2014. Gartner’s number include devices, desktops, notebooks and other mobiles, and the lead-like Windows Phone.By Gartner’s numbers, Microsoft must double the 2015 number in 2016 and add it again to break the one-billion threshold within three years – 2017.Microsoft doesn’t just make Windows for PCs: as before, there’s Windows Phone and Xbox. Microsoft sold 10 million Xbox units in one 12-month period to October 2014 and 34.9 million Windows Phones for 2014, according to IDC.

Let's be kind and assume those numbers stay static, rather than getting worse or even growing, and you still get Gartner’s predicted 2017 figure. Unless, that is, there’s a radical pivot in the Windows business that sees Windows phones explode and falling Xbox console sales bounce back. Without such a pivot, PCs will still account for the vast majority of those Windows 10 “devices.”Microsoft PR has been moving towards conflation of PC and phone on the “what is Windows” thing for some while now. This is the final instalment.With its greatly expanded VSP G-line of products, Hitachi Data Systems has opened a path to a single converged enterprise storage array platform – and has done so by eliminating proprietary hardware dependencies.The high-end VSP G1000 has a handful of ASICs for hardware acceleration and a PCIe backplane with similar custom chips. The newly-announced G800, G600, 400 and 200 systems have no ASICs at all, relying just on x86 hardware, and still using PCIe.(ASICs are application-specific integrated circuits – bespoke chips designed for very particular workloads, as opposed to general-purpose processors like Intel and AMD's x86 chips that can be thrown at any old code. Generic CPUs versus highly specialized ASICs are discussed here and here.)In a further line expansion, the VSP operating system, SVOS, will be released as a software-only product, running inside a virtual machine. It has been demoed in HDS Connect in Las Vegas, running on laptop hardware and hooked up to VSP arrays in remote data centers.
