More than the peons who do all the dirty work for them. I worked there for almost a year and bust my ass for that company. Never got much recognition for the late night projects I worked on.
They should have put an option in the software that would turn privacy on. This would keep the CueCat from tracking where you go. Not sure if this option made it into the final version.
HEY NOW! I helped design that ugly scanner!:) I had no option in the matter though. They said..give it some ears and make it look like a cat about to pounce on something. So I did what any good wage-slave would do.
shheeessh...ugly is such a harsh word.
that would be the Matrix DVD and when I worked for DigitalConvergence.Com I did the demos for CueCat and CRQ. I had that DVD pointing to the following URL: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0133093
Any chance that it is still pointing there? Probably not.

Hmm...are you REALLY not an employee of DCCI? I mean I worked there for almost a year and think I know quite a bit. You just blew half my knowledge out the window.:) Just curious.
The CueCat can scan normal barcodes. I think they set it up so it scans any kind of barcode besides the Cue ("Wedge"). They made the special Cue so they could put a patent on it. Or maybe just so they could copyright it. anyways...no other scanner can pick up on the Cue because of the way it was designed.
It has not been fully released. I don't think they will be using CRQ for awhile. I think the CueCat is the biggie for now. I have been out of the loop since I left the company back in May so I can not give you anymore detail than that.
It does basically the same thing. A cue will pop up on the bottom corner of the screen (next to those great network logos we all love) and a signal will be sent. Your sound card picks it up and the software decodes it and sends you to the selected site. Very nice for certain things. Advertisers will love it. A Sears commercial comes on and they play the Cue and poof you go to the sears site...or maybe the special sears promotion for CRQ users only. Maybe you like football and you are watching a game and the cue pops up as they are talking about a certain player. This could take you to more info on the player...like his stats for that year. Lots of good uses if they put any thought behind it.
Yes it does...UNLESS you select the option for privacy. I am assuming they still put that option somewhere in the software. I think they are working a way so you can not do any contests that companies may have if you have privacy on.

Actually...Jovan has nothing to do with the show now. He stepped down about 4-5 months ago.
If you get an actually reply from them I will be suprised. I would also like to see what they say in the email.
