I thought that this was worth mentioning, Chicago is the first US city to allow for citizens to text photos and video to 911.  They can be used as evidence or to prepare the first responders.  What a great use of the technology that, seemingly, everyone has in their pockets! Source

Lately I’ve seen them popping up, especially in relation to Android Apps, but also on posters and billboards around Chicago (specifically at CTA stops). From Wikipedia: A QR Code is [...]

Despite the rave reviews on the new features that Apple has put in to new iLife 09 I am afraid that in this reviewers real world testing it has demonstrated that it is a failure.
