Random QR Code
If i’m on my PC, I use Windows Media Center on Windows Vista to watch TV. Hell it’s great, except when you use it with a damn keyboard and mouse. So, I got myself a super cheap SpeedLink media remote. When it came, I unboxed it and noticed a very very small QR code, right on the back of the reciever. Being the very excitable person that I am, I grabbed my phone and started the QR code reader, only to find that it was a code that linked me to a weird page.
The site, i-nigma, has absolutely nothing to do with SpeedLink at all, so I have no idea what the hell they’re trying to pull. Meh, the remote works.

Leave a commentHi, it’s the EAN number you see on the right too:
4027301063998
As EAN-Barcodes are less compact than QR Codes, companies start using 2D Barcodes to achieve the same result with a better reading.
Imho: the i-nigma reader should just output the number and no error message.
