- Hey BOL In episode 1120 you guys discussed the possibility of an Amazon retail store or pick-up delivery service, and was surprised you guys failed to mention that, if Amazon were to open a physical retail store, this would force them to charge tax on all products, whether it be in-store or online. Don’t keep your hopes up for this service, as paying taxes on amazon would downplay the service. Keep up the good work, Of course I love the show. Hey Buzzers, - Added information about food products could be encoded. Maybe a program could scan in each item as you buy it and help you manage a diet. Buzz,

I’m not really excited about such a single-purpose device, but what if they put Chrome on it? I may be missing some details here, but isn’t Chrome almost custom written for a device like this? Maybe if Chrome got some really useful extensions once it was released, and the Joojoo can run it well, then the Joojoo could be a little more useful. Of course I love the show. Hey Buzzers, First off, let me say that I too thought that QR codes were a tad silly when I first blogged about the QR iPhone app. After learning about how they are used, though, I definitely gained some appreciation. Here are some examples you may find meaningful: - QR codes are widely used in Japan, slapped all over all kinds of items and attached to posters (big enough, you could snap them from a sizable distance?). - Added information about food products could be encoded. Maybe a program could scan in each item as you buy it and help you manage a diet. - Essentially any info that could be encoded in an RFID tag could also be put into QR. The upside? Most phones have a camera, few have an RF reader. In the few organic experiences I have had with this technology I have found it to be at least interesting, if not useful, and I would absolutely love to see shops start posting up little “Google Me” stickers in the windows. Especially places that are harder to nail down on manual searches. Love the show! Buzz, I think it’s interesting that the NY Times and the Washington Post are going in the opposite direction as the WSJ to actually encourage Google to aggregate their content in a more presentable way for web browsers.
