10 Best Tech Movies Of All Time

Here is the list of favourite tech movies, in no particular order, which we love for their special effects, predictions of technology before their time and super awesome gadgets!

1. TRON: Legacy

When the original TRON was released in 1982, it was a breakthrough not only in how computers were portrayed on screen, but how computers and technology were used in the creation of motion picture.

Combining not just a technical story, but also 3D visuals a la Avatar and CGI motion-capture technology from the same company that did the visual work in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, this film is incredibly advanced.

2. Star Wars 

An epic tale by George Lucas of space, technology, light sabres and robots. What more could any techie ask for in a movie.

3. Iron Man

Tony Stark and Stark Industries have some of the coolest gadgets around. In fact, aspects of the Stark character are purportedly based on a real tech titan, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison.

4. Inception

Christopher Nolan is a geek’s geek. From Memento to The Dark Knight to Inception, he manages to create films that are intelligent, thought-provoking and not quite what you would expect.

5. Avatar

Using a 3D camera system pioneered by director James Cameron, Avatar manages to toe the line between animation and live action in a way like never before. The story is secondary — Avatar is all about the journey. The visuals of the film, especially in 3D, go beyond what we can express in words.

6. Interstellar

Interstellar represents more of the thrilling, thought-provoking, and visually resplendent filmmaking moviegoers have come to expect from writer-director Christopher Nolan.

7. WALL-E

For tech geeks, the Easter eggs scattered throughout the film — from the technology of the past to the Macintosh start-up sound — just round out this very cool film.

8. The Social Network

The Social Network effectively captures the experience of hacking code. The film is about much more than just Facebook, but by the same token, it still manages to effectively bring the online experience to the big screen in a way that accurately portrays the reality of the experience.

9. Minority Report

Steven Spielberg worked with technology innovators and researchers when creating the film and designing its interfaces. Beyond that, it’s impossible to deny the influence Minority Report has had on consumer electronics and industrial design in general.

10. 2001: A Space Odyssey

Released in 1968 after five years in development, the film wasn’t exactly a hit with audiences or critics. Decades later, it is considered one of the most influential and important films in modern history. Its portrayal of the computer HAL, in many regards, shaped how computers and the overarching ideas of technology would be portrayed in cinema.

Mark Zuckerberg Reads out His Speech in CHINEESE For 20 minutes

Mark Zuckerberg has been learning Mandarin for some time, and it seems like the Facebook founder and CEO’s language skills are picking up after he showed them off with a twenty-minute speech spoken entirely in Chinese.

Zuck answered a Q&A session in Chinese in October of last year, but things seem to have developed considerably since then. Zuckerberg’s previous efforts, while impressive for someone not living in China and coping with the demands of running a multi-billion dollar public company, were described as being akin to a seven-year-old child. This time around though, Zuckerberg pulled off more advanced linguistic gymnastics, explaining to an audience at Tsinghua University — he joined the board last year — how he remains motivated by Facebook and its mission.

I’m not a Chinese speaker myself, but I talked to a number of people who are and the general consensus is that Zuckerberg’s progress is impressive — in particular his vocabulary is wide-ranging given his stage of learning — but his tones need some work. Zuck isn’t about to step into a Chinese boardroom soon, if he could, but the fact that he can find the time to become suitably proficient with a challenging language like Chinese will give other would-be language learners a boost in their own quest.

It also shows just how motivated he is to understand China… and perhaps even bring Facebook into the country legitimately.

HP Launches Helion OpenStack Version 2.0 Platform

It’s no secret that HP is about to sunset its public cloud business and that it has conceded that side of its business to the likes of AWS, Microsoft and Google. Instead, the company is now focusing on its private and hybrid cloud business. When it comes to private clouds, OpenStack is currently the only real option and with Helion OpenStack, HP has offered its own OpenStack platform for about a year now. Today, the company announced the launch of version 2.0 of this commercial and enterprise-grade distribution.
As Mark Interrante, HP’s senior vice president of HP Cloud, has said, HP’s move away from its public cloud businesses means that the team can now double down on its private and hybrid cloud efforts. “This means more focus for us. It means we can build the best private cloud for our customers and make  sure that we can really accelerate our hybrid management and the hybrid nature of our cloud,” he said.
Helion OpenStack 2.0 is based on the OpenStack ‘Kilo’ release. While the OpenStack project is already one release ahead of HP (with the release of Liberty earlier this month), it’s standard procedure in the OpenStack world to be somewhat conservative with adopting new releases. This new version includes all of the new features of the Kilo release, but also adds a number of new HP-specific features.

HP’s team takes the vanilla OpenStack release and then curates it, sets sane defaults for the configuration, and hardens the security of the platform against internal and external attacks. In addition, the team also backports some of the bug fixes from the newer releases when possible, though it doesn’t backport any new features.

Thanks to the advances in the Kilo release and HP’s own work, Helion OpenStack 2.0 now offers features like rolling upgrades without downtime, continuous patch management without application interruptions, and an improved administrator interface with centralized logging and monitoring features. Version 2.0 now also adds new networking features through its integrations with HP’s Distributed Cloud Networking service for managing distributed data center environments. Helion OpenStack 2.0 also supports Nuage Networks’Virtualized Services Platform.

In addition, HP also adds features like an installer with a user interface, a load balancer, firewall and VPN as a service to the platform. HP also now adds its own ops console, which helps operators monitor and better understand the state of their clouds.

As Interrante and his team noted, HP’s customers don’t want to completely customize their setups. Instead, they want to configure them. Using the new Helion Lifecycle Management service, for example, they can create their cloud layouts and then replay these installs with small tweaks as necessary.

HP says it currently has 210 engineers who are contributing to OpenStack, including eight Project Team Leads (who lead the development of OpenStack’s various sub-projects) and three members of the project’s Technical Committee.
