According to eyewitnesses, this is a video of a Hummer waiting in line at a gas station when a woman in a Grand Cherokee, fed up with the line, decides to take her road rage off the road and into a service station to cut in line and take the next pump. Aaaaaaaand that’s when she crashes head-on into the thing, knocks it over, and sets her car on fire. Smooth, lady. See? This is EXACTLY why– “Women shouldn’t be allowed to drive?” What? Nooooooooooo. I was gonna say this is why…*think quick, GW, think!*…I only use full-service pumps. *phew, good save*

Hit the jump for a couple videos, the first of which from a local news channel that sucks and probably makes you watch an ad before it, and another from a different angle.

Remember when researchers claimed a massive security vulnerability could potentially enable hackers to remotely take over Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printers and even cause them to burst into flames? Fun times, for sure.

Of course, HP was quick to point out that the researchers had it all wrong, lamented the “sensational and inaccurate reporting” surrounding the supposed security flaw and said not a single customer had reported any instances of unauthorized access to its LaserJet printers.

Nevertheless, the company recognized that there was indeed a potential security vulnerability with printers placed on a public network without a firewall, and at the time said it would soon issue a fix.

This morning, HP announced that the firmware update is now available and said it has still not received any customer reports of unauthorized access. From the looks of it, not a single hacker exploited the security flaw to burn down a house, skyscraper, hotel, casino, school or shed.

The company reiterated its recommendation to secure devices by placing printers behind a firewall and to disable remote firmware upload on exposed printers whenever possible.

According to developer Gus Pinto (who sum ups his life in under 140 characters as “Pioneering Mac Desktop Virtualization. iOS, Mac & Android Development”), that last bit is exactly what happened to his iPhone 4 running a Developer Beta build of iOS 5.
