The CueCat is a cat-shaped handheld barcode reader that was released in 1999 by the now defunct Digital Convergence Corporation. The CueCat enabled a user to open a link to an Internet URL by scanning a barcode — called a "cue" by Digital Convergence — appearing in an article or catalog or on some other printed matter. In this way, a user could be directed to a web page containing related information without having to enter a URL. The company asserted that the ability of the device to direct users to a specific URL, rather than a domain name, was valuable.[1] In addition, TV broadcasters could use an audio tone in programs and/or commercials that, when attached to a computer (via an audio cable), acted as a web address shortcut.[2]
I also just remember from watching the damn infomercial because at that time I watched too many infomercials. Man I loved me some duralube.
Now the GE commercial was crap mostly because all but 1 person was building turbans. I only heard 1 person building a turbine. Did people forget how a silent e works. I could understand if they had English as a second language people speaking the name of the product they build and getting it wrong. Also all go daddy commercials suck. Period.
Edit: I do like the commercial and I will go read on it. This is pretty cool info about how the board hated it.
Wow, no identifying info other then works at apple and called Wiz. Guess what, we don't know who he is, unless you knew him before. One of the best ways to show a company that there is a security hole is to exploit the hell out of it. And they did by just showing what the info is that they get.
It is also a commentary onto how much info we divuldge into texts messages that we think are private. Same thing could happen if you lost your phone. Someone picks it up and now they probably know a lot about you.
