Physical World hyperlinks

This is an interesting summary of attempts to use mobile phone cameras to read barcodes with a view to encoding web sites into bar codes - this would allow one to go straight from a barcode printed on a poster to a web site, or from a newspaper, or to find out more information about a food product.

I reported on similar technologies earlier in the blog and am waiting for the technology to settle down and will then make my guided walks into mobile phone walks.

It unfortunate that the PP only ponders on certain ideas he wants. He has a one sided view on PWC connections. If he didn't the links to Neomedia Technologies and Qode would work on his web site.

IMO, Neomedia's one click to content will change the mobile industry.

Who will be the first to report the truth for a change?

The Pondering Primate at one time was backing a PWC player.

That player was Neomedia Technologies. Their free down loadable software is called Qode.

"They" even called this the next "killer app".

Why did everyone's point of view change?

The idea and technology didn't change.

I was looking to bring it out in the open. Some are hiding the truth.

How London is Divided Up

Image
The LDA - London Development Agency divides London up as follows: I have no idea who made these decisions but clearly some are not so obvious. For example, Southwark is in the Central Region but the City is in the Eastern Region given that all the bridges across the Thames in Southwark join up with the City this seems crazy! A report which discusses the issue of dividing up London can be seen here. Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow
