Dangerously driving a car with an iPhone
Here at TUAW we've seen lots of uses for the iPhone as a remote control, but if you were watching and thinking that those projects were way too safe, then the guys at Waterloo Labs have got you covered. They approached the project with a low budget and DIY attitude, building a low-cost (relatively speaking) car that is controlled by a first generation iPhone. Not content with just building the car, they also chose to car-surf on the hood and roof, Teen Wolf style, while testing their handiwork.
While we at TUAW do not condone such dangerous behavior, we can recommend that you watch this other video by Waterloo Labs as a more in-depth instructional video on how to build your own vehicle.

Ads? Where I'm going, we don't see ads...
...Because I use host file ad server blocking.
Go to http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm and follow the instructions, or just paste the contents of http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt into:
/etc/hosts
using either Terminal.app or BBEdit/TextWrangler (which is free).

What, no Dr. Horrible reference? Michael J. Fox didn't even HAVE an iPhone.
