Up until recently, VirtualBox had a pretty major limitation: There was no way to use Windows Aero effects when running Windows Vista or Windows 7 inside VirtualBox. If you are testing software, this makes a big difference: You are not getting the Aero experience most Windows users would get, and your screenshots look wrong. Fortunately, with the advent of VirtualBox 4.1, this can be fixed.CyberNet News
I love using Wolfram Alpha , but their recent push to get people to upgrade to their “Pro” version really started to turn me off of this awesome service. Sure the frequent popups asking you to “Go Pro” is pretty annoying, but what was even worse to me is that they disabled the ability to copy results without at least signing up for an account. For Chrome users there is an extension called WolframAlpha No Pro that solves many of the new annoyances that were introduced to users who don’t want to setup an account or pay for the Pro subscription. Not only does it remove the popups you’d normally see, but it also enabled all the keys on the symbolic keyboard (used for writing equations) and also makes copying a plaintext version of the results easy with a large button.

Microsoft decided to skip version 3.0 and launch version 4.
