Semacode - Hyperlinks For The Real World
An anonymous reader submits "Semacode is a fascinating concept - it involves encoding a standard network/web URL in visual form (essentially a 2D bar code) that can be displayed in the real world for people to 'read' with semacode-enabled connected devices. The reference platform for now is the Symbian/Series 60 phone platform - specifically, the Nokia 3650 . Semacode also works with the Nokia 6600 and 7650 camera phones."
I've got an idea, let's shape the readers like some weird half dead cat, and then give away a million readers and start suing people who actually use them!
Oh I don't know. This sounds way more expensive than a CueCat. That makes it cooler and better, right?
I give them credit for the attempt to make a "2d barcode" sound like it is somehow more than -- you know -- the one on my box of Lucky Charms.
this is just what I need, a new way for trolls to fool me into seeing the goatse man.
No-IP.com would like to thank you for making some people go to "www.sashdot.org" just to see if it really existed (they own it). +1000 points

You can try the japanese mirror at "srashdot.org" or the MS-based clone at "crashdot.org"
If I can go into my local Radio Shack and get the readers for free. What an innovative idea!
Someday an ad exec is going to realize people don't want to see thier damned ads. Of course he'd be instantly torn apart by the pack for showing a clue...
Yes, they're just coming out. You'll find them printed on 4D products at the mall...
* And remember, it's spelled N-e-t-s-c-a-p-e, but it's pronounced "Mozilla."
...how to I write "www.goat.cx" or "www.tubgirl.com" in this new format, and will it work printed on a tshirt? That'll keep people from collecting any proper evidence against me with those pesky camera phones.

that will be awesome until they start spoofing urls. you'll be price checking in aisle 2, click on a link, and then be at goatse.cx...
this sig limit is too small to put anything good h
Now I can post goatse links on every building in town! No phone user will be safe!
I don't care if it's 90,000 hectares. That lake was not my doing.
It appears you have answered your own question!

You think it's cool now, wait till you scan something and Goatse.cx pops up.

And I've got a 3-D television set. Oh wait, it's also got an auditory dimension. Make that 4-D.
