Why we should expect more bugs in open source software
There are so many free, open source software projects out there that their developers and maintainers have little hope of being able to monetize their products. But there is always the other side of it: AD revenue. To create AD revenue it is enough to create traffic to a web site. How do we create traffic? We set up a forum or bug tracker and introduce bugs to our code. Bingo! Now, we have frustrated users coming to our web site, creating traffic, and generating AD revenue.
So, expect more and more unscrupulous crooks to piggy-back on this genius scheme, and more buggy FOS software. We are SOL.

Stupidity knows no limits: VirtualBox power button handling
It is reasonable to expect many users to standby their PCs by pressing the power buttons. It is trivial to configure both Linux and Windows that way. But in VirtualBox there is no setting to prevent the shutdown of the OS by pressing the power button! So, when one presses it, the guest OS shuts down.
Give your head a shake, Oracle!
