Potentially include Criticisms/Controversy section?[edit]

I'm not sure of the rules on including this section, but Spoon's post here claims to utilize containers, or Operating_system-level_virtualization, which is false. Spoon in fact uses Application_virtualization (as correctly mentioned in this page), which requires a virtualization layer and therefore is substantially different from OS-level virtualization (greater overhead, slower boot times, etc). As of me writing this comment, the top 10 comments on Hacker News (and others from Reddit) express frustration at this marketing confusion, e.g.

Any VM can do what this is doing. This is boring and I feel taken advantage of. They promised Containers can gave fast deployment VMs. On their own that is cool, but not when wrapped in a lie.

> Because containers are built on the Spoon virtualization engine, rather than simply providing an interface to container support in an underlying operating system, Spoon can containerize applications across multiple operating systems and provide advanced virtualization primitives.
That means it's not containerization, but virtualization.

Could we make a complaint to whatever the US version of Trading Standards is? They're misselling themselves. Containers are a relatively well defined concept as distinct from virtualisation, and they're misleading people.

Well, this is neither libre nor a real containerization solution but rather a VM.

Leaving this note for a more knowledgeable editor to decide what to do here.

Social media links in external links[edit]

I have twice removed these, and explained in edit summaries, and on the talk page of Bryancyriel, that WP:ELNO point #10, and Wikipedia:ELNO#Official_links which explains that "Normally, only one official link is included" and "Wikipedia does not attempt to document or provide links to every part of the subject's web presence or provide readers with a handy list of all social networking sites" indicate that these are neither necessary, nor desirable. The link to the official website is sufficient.

I won't remove them again (I'm old-fashioned about revert warring), so I'll just leave this note here to let other article editors decide what to do. Thanks. Begoon ^talk 14:37, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
