Thread: Anyone use QR codes?

    I'm seeing these ALL over the place; on cans of food, ketchup bottles, even printed on tables at the cafe.

    I don't have a smart phone, so I can't go the links embedded in the code, but I know a lot of people to like going to that type of thing. I'm in a very liberal college, and Ron's message of peace is worth promoting here. I think pasting these around may actually be a good idea.

    We've started using these on YAL brochures and flier, rather than using long, ugly URL's that no one will use.

    People need to be careful with these things

    The growing popularity of Quick Response (QR codes) on smart phones has officially become a new distribution vehicle for malware on Android devices.
    According to security researchers at Kaspersky Lab (important disclosure: my employer), hackers are are using QR codes posted on web sites to redirect smart phones to other sites hosting an Android trojan.
    Once a user scans the QR code (using special apps), the code redirects them to a site that will install a Trojan on their phones.

    Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.

    What others do pales beside what YOU do.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

    QR will take it's last breath when Apple announces NFC support for iOS. until then... it's placeholder tech at best.

    I really doubt either will become popular. It's a tiny, tiny niche great for college campuses and not really anything else. It's a novelty. There really aren't *that* many people who want to stare at a tiny cell phone screen all day.

    They are perfect for events like the Olympics or an y large event where you stick them all around and they can find out where they are and what is going on elsewhere.
