Thanks, igorsk! So it began in Japan, shoulda thought that! QR code. Thanks for the heads up. Are any newspapers doing this in USA yet? Is this maybe the future of ''Maybe Journalism'', as the Times reporter asks?

And igorsk, what would one call that barcode that is used there, it's not a bar code exactly, there are no bars, so what term is used for that? Do you know what to call that thing a ma jingy? In Taiwan, they call it "er wei taio ma" which means "bar code" .....duh.
