anyone know anything about this black and white bar code type thing?

Seems a bit strange to me.

Reminds me a bit like space invaders - how they fire crosses and snakes at you.

Also if you shoot at the small green "pyramids" 2 times it looks a little like this code.

all seems a bit strange to me.

Any thoughts>?

Also i have seen this code in lots of places.

I really need to get out more

I still think there is something strange about this!!

That code is called QR. It has three big squares in the corners to determine orientation, a smaller square in the remaining corner to interpolate the positions of the remaining dots, and the remaining dots contain binary data plus an error correcting code so that it can still read the data if some of the bits weren't determined correctly.

It's effectively turns paper into a low capacity data storage device.

Oh, and by the way, I deny the accusation that these things are an attempt to get people to buy more cell phones, which are pretty much required to use these things.

What, nobody was thinking that? Forget I said anything.
