A woman in Surrey, England couldn’t figure out why her car wouldn’t start. An Automobile Association patrolman arrived on the scene and the two realized that the woman’s dog had swallowed the car’s immobilizer chip fob. The immobilizer contains an RFID chip that must be within a certain proximity of the steering column for the key to work. According to a BBC News report, the patrolman put the dog in the front seat, turned the key, and the car started right up.Link (Thanks, Paul Saffo!)
We’re still struggling with a spat of fainting fits across the Engadget HQ, but that Nokia N95 pre-release info leak last night wasn’t no hearsay. Nokia just dropped their complete fanboy specsheet of a S60 phone in the Nokia N95 today, including a 5 megapixel camera, integrated GPS, 802.11g WiFi, HSDPA, microSD, 150MB of internal memory and pretty much any other spec you could ever care to have stuffed into your phone by a Finnish “multimedia computer” manufacturer. The 2.6-inch QVGA screen should provide plenty of room to partake in all this specification glory, and there’s a full-on 3.5mm audio jack to enjoy your multimedia in a convenient manner. Of course, that 550 euro pricetag ($700 US) wasn’t no joke neither, but luckily we have until Q1 ‘07 — that’s when they’re busting this thing out in Europe — to get all practiced up on our petty thievery. Keep reading for the pr0n.
Sweet Jesus, that’s hot. And I thought my phone (Nokia N70) was cool.

Saw this on Kotaku.com - this is the version of the minus world from the Japanese Famicom Disk System. For those of you not quite in the know, while the North American NES had those big grey cartridges only, the Japanese version (which came out years before the North American version) had a disk drive. This is a clip from the minus world of the disk version of SMB.
