QR Codes

[rootbear75]

For the past month or so, i have had a strange obsession over the QR Code...

It's probably the fact that i have a barcode scanner on my phone and i have been trying to scan everything in sight, HOWEVER;;;

 

Google has recently started supporting QR Codes and been passing out these flyers:

Curious to know:

 

1) Has anyone seen these decals in ANY businesses?

2) Has anyone seen QR codes anywhere else in the world (Billboards, coffee shops, on products, coupons, etc..)

3) Has anyone scanned said codes? was it worth it?

4) Has anyone tried to decode my avatar? (if so, dont reveal it, because i know its stupid)

I have tried to decode it with my phone however the image quality is not good enough for it to be successful.
