 Re: barcode scanningThey're called QR codes. The QR stands for Quick Response. Typically, they encode a web address.
zbar-tools (in the repos) will decode them from a webcam image. I believe there is an iPhone app for these, but I don't have an iPhone to check... _________________ XFX Nforce 750 (built in GeForce 8300), Athlon X2 5000 Lenovo G550 , Intel T4400 , Intel Mobile 4 graphics |

Re: barcode scanning You can generate them here. My current avatar is an example... I heard about them on a recent Tuxradar podcast & was intrigued enough to investigate further. I've also got a (Free.) reader on my N900 called mBarcode.
