Can someone please tell me where the logic is? Great advertising or a bunch of random square dots on the back of a truck that, for most people, will mean absolutely diddly squat and, for others (those who know what they actually are), they won’t be able to scan it because they are too busy [...]

Remember the first time you saw some cool dude with a bluetooth headset that he couldn’t resist constantly touching to make sure we all saw it?
