JumpScan - QR-Code redirector • Hacker News Board

With the proliferation of barcode readers, it becomes more and more apparent that traditional applications that rely on these codes: item tracking and warehousing have no built-in security, some even allowing direct executable code injection via barcodes.

Nice!

Also: "simpleqrcode" app on android market allows you to encode your contact info into a QR code directly.

This makes a ton of sense. It's incredibly surprising nobody has done this / publicized it already. Win. (I ran into an error trying to connect with fb; second time worked.)

Nice but this is basically what http://www.p8tch.com/ has been doing for years with real qr codes. You get a patch with a qr-code that you can redirect to any URL you want.

I have one on my backpack, sorry for the awful picture: http://i.imgur.com/DvyCy.png

Hey, I would like to see your app, but it is not found when I use "Android market" on my Nexus One. Perhaps your app is on another market place?
