just for kicks I decoded the QR code in the middle of the video, hoping for an easter(or rather xmas) egg, but alas only the rather boring http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/

How fast can average QR decoders using a phone camera work? Would they decode the QR code from the playing video, or would you have to pause it? Just curious.

I had to screencap the video (their play button covers the video when paused). The QRReader app on iPhone wasn't fast enough to scan it during the video.
