Barcode battle

The soft ones set about promoting their standard two-dimensional barcode, called HCCB (High Capacity Color Barcode). This is a color bar code, which in theory should be more compact than the QR Code. However, how to use it in black and white printing remains unclear.

The HCCB reader can be downloaded from the gettag.mobi mobile site (Windows Mobile, J2ME, Blackberry and Symbian S60) or from iTunes, for the iPhone, called Tag Reader .

HCCB is a closed standard and is promoted under the Microsoft Tag label, solely for the creation of mobile tags. You can generate your own barcode on Microsoft Tag , but the data will be stored on the site, and only the identifier in the barcode itself.

The American comrades clearly sensed that it was time to forge iron. Last fall, Scanbuy introduced its - of course, closed - standard for mobile tags, called EZcode. You can download the reader and generate your tag on the ScanLife website .

No way our overseas brothers can not do without the battle of monopolies. At a time when humanity is adopting open standards and devoting its resources to the development of technology for the common good, the greedy bourgeoisie are sharing, not-sharing the skins of unkilled consumers.

We decided not to be like, and so there was LiveCode.ru .
