Works with Redlaser only as most QR code readers open web links in a viewport instead of pushing out to safari.

Would be even more useful if it could QR-ify any currently select text. I was just thinking of doing that myself.
Ok, done it. Try this: https://gist.github.com/findel/5099737 Credit for the selection code: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4652734/return-html-from-... [Edit: created gist]
I created a bookmarklet that does the same thing for any website you're browsing. Makes it easy to transfer from PC to phone, assuming the phone can read QR codes. http://keyboardp.tumblr.com/post/38976790879/send-webpage-fr...
This is excellent – I find this more useful than the parent article.

QR codes on billboards and in marketing are kind of rubbish, but in terms of moving a URL or a phone number from your PC to your phone quickly, they're actually pretty useful.
QR codes on billboards and in marketing are kind of rubbish On a big billboard beside the freeway, sure. In a home for sale sign, or in a bus shelter, or anywhere else where people are either a) very interested or b) captive, they are fantastic.
Because hey, I'mma scan this QR code, and then remember about it when I'm topside.

You can do this if you use Chrome on your phone, and are signed in with sync enabled. The tabs on your phone are accessible from the 'New Tab' page on you desktop and vice versa. On desktop Chrome, there's a little 'Other Devices' drop down at the bottom; on Chrome for Android, there's a button with a pair of arrows at the bottom right.
Can that work in one direction? I have dozens of tabs open on my desktops, and I don't want to punish my phone with that.
The feature is enabled by default so if you're using Chrome already (on both devices, with your Google account), then it's likely already syncing (and clearly not punishing your phone).
This has been a feature for OS X for a long, long time.
