Um. Yeah. Or instead of installing an application and taking a picture of a code, you could just type in this thing called an “address” (it’s really old technology).

I was really hoping this was going to be “Take a picture of a scannable code to get the full classified on your web browser.” Hopefully that’s where they’ll be taking it, otherwise newspapers have missed the mark once again.

The technology also has to be a lot easier than this — expecting people to install an entire application in ADDITION TO buying your newspaper is way too much work for today’s web culture.
