The Amputee team at 2013 Dakar rally
Race2Recovery Team |
Remember back in Top Gear when Richard Hammond introduces to some special kind of Dakar rally team that will compete for this very moment? Yes really, they were soldiers who lost some of their body parts during the war but they never lost their dreams to race in the Dakar rally. This amputee team, called Race2Recovery, were the first ever disabled crew to compete for the 2013 Dakar rally using four Bowler Wildcats for racing purposes, 28 staff for duty, and an array of support vehicles. The Dakar rally runs on 15 days but we wish these special kind of team the very best proving that even with their handicap, they are capable of what they are at the Paris Dakar.

It's been a long time, Tito Sen!
Guess what? Those issues regarding the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 is still going on and this time, those no-good hacktivist group known as Anonymous Philippines once again hacked the official website of Tito Sotto. Instead of a home page, what they'll see is a deface page bearing the hacker’s message and the song “Freedom” by American rap metal band Rage Against The Machine blaring in the background.
“It’s been a long time, Tito Sen!” the group’s message read. “Deny us our freedom of speech and of expression through R.A. 10175 (Cybercrime Law) and we will deny you your cyberspace. You cannot shut us up, you cannot shut us down.”
Guess this is taking too far, eh?
