[OT] Keyless Go

[marc@getty.net (Marc Getty)]

Wanna see something really cool?

Go to:
<http://www.mbusa.com/brand/container.jsp?/models/main.jsp&modelCode=SL5
00R>
Then under the "features" menu, choose "feature spotlight" and then
choose "keyless go".

This is the most amazing car feature that I have ever heard of, and is
the only thing that I *REALLY* wish my new car had. Pictures of my new
car, all in Germany: <http://getty.net/c230k/>.

I'm not sure if this is RFID (see:
<http://www.howstuffworks.com/smart-label.htm>) or RF, but it sure would
be cool if it were RFID and not RF! With RFID there is no need for a
battery and there are fewer parts that could possibly break.
