FIA Ban McLaren From The 2007 F1 Championship

Subsequent Edit: It looks like this decision had more merit than I originally thought. It appears that even the McLaren drivers had access to information within the documents.

The FIA make another decision that I find hard to believe.

According to what I have read... a McLaren guy got some Ferrari documentation which he kept at home. He and a Ferrari guy then started shopping around for a new job at other teams and then his team gets fined $100m and removed from the constructors championship even though nobody else at McLaren saw the document and none of the information was used on their car. If that is really what happened then it sounds like a pretty stupid decision to me.

Playing World Of Warcraft On Mobile Phone (iPhone)

This guy is playing World of Warcraft on his iPhone. Not quite the most user friendly looking experience. World of Warcraft is actually being run from the computer and then controlled via the iPhone, so not the most portable/sensible option either. Good for a quick laugh though.

Free Ventrilo (Vent) Server Channels

Ventrilo has a free server license version, but you will need to read the Ventrilo licensing agreement to see if you qualify to use Vent for free. Installation instructions can be found at Ventrilo Setup

Ventrilo is meant to be better than Teamspeak, but many people will need to buy a license to use it legally.

Note that if you set up your own Ventrilo or Teamspeak server, it can use a lot of bandwidth.

Top Gear: Who is the Stig?

Stig is the expert driver that trains special guests for the timed track challenge, drives tested cars for a timed lap of the test track and performs other driving duties on the Top Gear show.

The Stig's identity is not shown on the Top Gear show. It is known that there have been at least two Stigs.

The Stig dressed up in the first two series was Perry McCarthy. A British professional racing driver that did race in F1. After announcing in his book that he was the Stig, the black Stig was killed off at the start of the third season of Top Gear when he went off a cliff in a car stunt.

Free TeamSpeak Server

TeamSpeak 4 Free claims to have free TeamSpeak servers available for guilds etc to use. I haven't look into it. I play WoW, but given what I hear on channels, I have no wish to listen to people on TeamSpeak shudder. You might find it useful though.

Ventrilo is meant to be a nicer system to use than TeamSpeak. See here for free Ventrilo Server information

Heli Attack 2 - Helicopter Shooting Game

Heli Attack 2 is a game that on its own is pretty lame. Its main claim to fame is that the much more amusing, although equally crap game, ROFL Attack spawned from it.

Heli Attack 2 is a game where you are a pilot that has been shot down and you have to kill wave after wave of helicopters with your gun whilst dodging the bullets. You can also get a jet pack and fly around. I played Heli Attack 2 once and was bored pretty much just after I started playing. Maybe you will be more amused than I.
