I've been equipped with a state of the art Lenovo ThinkPad W520. A powerhouse! Runs smoothly with 6 Hyper-V guests running :)
It had one minor flaw; the fan was running at full speed for no apparent reason.
I found out that a tool exists to aid you to control the fan speed: TPFanControl (ThinkPadFanControl).
It's available here (at your own risk) for the vast majority of ThinkPads: http://www.staff.uni-marburg.de/~schmitzr/donate.html

For a while I've been using Simple Adblock to get rid of ads on webpages. Simple Adblock blocks ads in IE9 which has several advantages:
- Less loading time for pages; the browser doesn't waste bandwidth to get the ads
- The intrusive ad corps don't get their money
- I get a much cleaner looking page with the important content in focus
BUT, Simple Adblock comes in 2 flavors, one free which blocks 200 ads a day (which means 1 visit to berlingske.dk and 1 visit to eb.dk...) or a paid version for 29$ (which of course blocks all ads 'indefinetly'). I don't want to pay money to get rid of ads!
Enter TPL (Tracking Protection Lists), a new feature in IE9. Simply put it's a built-in adblocker in IE9. From this blogpost I got a link to how to easily configure the TPL in IE9. Essentially, one goes to http://www.quero.at/adblock_ie_tpl.php and add Quero's TPL to your browser: Poof, ads-be-gone!
