Hamilton and Kovalainen were penalized five grid places. Following several hours of deliberation by the stewards about whether or not the McLaren pair had done anything wrong, it was eventually decided that the duo should be punished. Hamilton was penalised for blocking Heidfeld, while Kovalainen got his penalty for blocking both the German and Alonso. It means Kovalainen will now start from eighth place on the grid, with Hamilton one place behind him. A McLaren spokesman confirmed that the team would not appeal the decision.

The International Court of Appeal said in a statement the case was rejected because McLaren’s appeal is inadmissable. The results of the Interlagos race will remain unchanged, confirming Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen as the 2007 world champion. Ferrari CEO Jean Todt further added:
The decision of the ICA finally brings to an end a very intense season, both on and off the track. Today, a final and desperate attempt to change the result obtained on the track was rejected. Now, all our efforts are focused on preparing for next season.#.
What else left for Mclaren to loose this season?

Apple’s DRM policies are not all that restrictive. If you want to buy an MP3 through iTunes, you most certainly can – so long as the artist or label allow you to do so. That’s not Apple’s fault, is it? #.
But the last time I checked Apple offers over 2 million DRM-free tracks with AAC encoding. AmazonMP3 too offers over 2 million DRM-free tracks but in MP3 format. Its Apple who chose AAC for DRM-free music not labels or artists. Now tell me whose fault is it Chris.

If you save shortcuts for most frequently used applications in quick launch instead of desktop like me, here’s some shortcuts to fire them up using keyboard. Win+1, Win+2, Win+3 and so on to launch each application. For example, Win+4 launches Firefox from the above picture and Win+7 launches Flock. This works no matter what application has the focus. I have tried this on XP and the shortcuts wont work. This only works on Windows Vista. Cool tip.
