Windows 10 is the new name for Windows 9 – so it’s official Microsoft Windows 10 is the next OS release in the Windows series.

Bit gobsmacked they would skip a number, very odd but at least it will get people talking about Windows 10.

It’s possible that the number 9 is bad luck in some cultures so they skipped to 10 to avoid any issues around the world.

Windows 10 will have a stack of new features such as the return of the improves start menu and virtualisation.

We will know more about Windows 10 in the next few hours but for now best get used to two digits for Windows naming from now on. ****

Windows 9 what we know, what we predict for Windows 9 launch later today. So far we know Windows 9 will return the start menu and also offer visualisation of the desktop.

I’m also betting that Windows 9 will be named simply Windows and many of the sub versions will be removed save for the Enterprise editions.

It’s also very likely Windows 9 will be free to anyone with Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 ****

iPhone 6 Plus bending Apple should issue recall. The iPhone 6 Plus has a bending problem and now it’s been shown you can bend the iPhone 6 Plus using your bare hands.

See the original video in full here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znK652H6yQM

Obviously for a consumer grade product at this price point durability is to be expected – the iPhone 6 Plus is a fail for design and manufacture.

One has to wonder why Apple let the product into market with such an obvious problem that would have shown up in durability testing very quickly.

If it can bend in your front pocket it’s not fit for purpose!

It seems Apple has a real problem with the iPhone 6 bending all out of shame when it’s the plus model.

Are you suffering from the iPhone 6 bend problem, let us know in the comments for this iPhone 6 Plus bend video. ****

Minecraft has been sold to Microsoft for $2.4 billion dollars, making Notch and the Minecraft team very rich indeed.

The founders will leave the company and Minecraft. It’s going to be interesting to see what Microsoft does with Minecraft next.

This is good move for Microsoft and gets them back in the game – so to speak – as far as big exclusive titles are concerned.

Hopefully it will also mean Minecraft 2 and expanded resources for the Minecraft team.

As for Notch and the other Minecraft founders, they are off to work on something new and spend some of that hard earned money. ****

Phones4U enters administration. My theory of what happened to Phones4U is that this was done to give the new combined Currys-Carphone the best possible launch with no competition.

It’s strange that all this should happen at a time when DSG needs to get rid of the Phones4U concessions in their Currrys PCWorld stores.

Further, this creates a weaker market for consumers with less competition, just what the mobile networks want.

The entire Currys-Carphone deal should be halted pending a new investigation into market competition. We lost three and gained one that only competes with itself and the networks, and the networks dictate the terms! ****
