Comment But cuecats can be useful! (Score 1) 185
There is an entire site based around the idea that cuecats can be useful. All you have to do is take a cheap piece of technology such as a cuecat, and find a use for it that actually makes sense.
Mediachest allows you to use your cuecat to scan in your collection of DVDs, Games, CDs, and Books to create a catalog and then enable real life file sharing(trading/lending out items you own with people near you for items that you want) that can never be shut down by the RIAA or MPAA.
Semacodes could be very useful in the near future as well. The right application in the right environment is all you need. I scan see them being very useful in museums and places where you can use your phone as an interactive guide based on items you are looking at.
I think the key issue here is that they are trying to make it easier for people with cell phones to put in URLs. I'd much rather scan a semacode than type a long url.
