2D Scanner scans QR Code barcode from a Mobile Phone (YAWN)…

QR CODE – is this a fad ?

Who is turning big bucks on QR CODES ??

Does it REALLY improve your bottom line ?

Not sure – are you in business to make money or make friends?

I am not sure in these daunting times how much is a gimmick-

Are you trying to “network” or are you looking for a support group? 

Nothing wrong with it -

KNOW WHY YOU ARE In BUSINESS OR IS IT A HOBBY ???

QR CODE HACKER MALWARE: OMG IS NOTHING SACRED?

When I first as exposed to the QR  code technology andheard about the applications, I thought it truly was a panacea – and I really envisioned that the QR code technology  was going to displace  advertising as we knew it.

Mama Mia – was I wrong-LOL – now you know why I have a box full of  stock certificates  from companies that were formerly Pink Sheet darlings– sigh. So much for MY technological crystal ball.

While the QR code can give an entrancing demonstration-  how many of us actually use them on a regular basis?

Look at me- APPSNEWBIE and the QR code SCANDUDS t shirts I produced?

Outside of Japan (the birthplace of QR Code usage ), the only use cases so far seem to be:

1) Quickly getting to an Android app’s download page from a review site.

2) When you really, really want to know more about that print mag’s McDonald’s ad.Or you are REALLY REALLY hard up for something to do in the dentists of ice.

3) Scanning that mysterious QR code sticker thatpromises a freebie.Or you JUST got a smartphone and you want to see if you know how to scan.

Oh shut up- and don’t you  eye roll me- you KNOW not everybody can get that sucker to work…

See if you can ACTUALLY get a discount at Kentucky Fried – well- they SAID it was KFC..

WELL the evil ones are upon us

The evil ones  of the world have caught on to QR codes, so scanning that stray QR code might lead you to some nasty, nasty malware-bloatware -Trojans. Computer killers.

Now, to be clear: there’s nothing inherently wrong with the QR code itself. The QR code is just a visual representation of data which gets passed to the phone — so even if there were some way to directly exploit QR codes, its effect would vary greatly based on how each respective platform handles the data passed to it.

HACKERS  are using QR codes to lure people into downloading Android malware.

While some users are likely to assume that QR codes are unique to the Android market and thus be comfortable scanning them, these codes actually take you to an Android install package hosted on some third-party server. The QR code itself isn’t bad — but the link it’s obfuscating is.

Once downloaded, the dirty app (which, in the most recent case, was a hacked version of the Russian ICQ client, Jimm) begins firing off text messages to a premium number. Each text it sends (without your knowledge) sets you back around $5+. You can find an outline of the method byKaspersky Labs here.

It’s not hard to imagine how this concept could get nasty quick. Users, for the most part, would trust a QR code the same way they just a link on a company’s own website.

Take a QR-enabled ad on a public wall, for example; how simple would it be for the “hacker” to simply slap a sticker of his nefarious QR code on top of yours?

JUST WONDERING … QR CAREFULLY

LATISSE EYELASH UPDATE: LONG and LONGER: ASK DR. MARK PINSKY 

Now an update on Appsnewbies eyelashes.

I AM A HAPPY CAMPER…

Yes, oh, yes,  Latisse REALLY DOES work. I must confess, I had my doubts.

Like many of us who read the ads and did a nightly faithful  rubbing a cream on “the girls”- hoping that the  $ 59.99   plus  shipping and handling, cream /lotion/suction device would transform  a 32AAA into a lush and promised  38C …. YEP- done that – been there. (sigh)

But Latisse is the real McCoy.

 I do not really even need an eyelash curler anymore because my lashes are so  thick and curly.

And the bare spots  ( missing eyelashes )are gone- this is the ONLY product- and a SAFE one  I have ever seen that really makes your eyelashes LONGER and THICKER. 

But you need a prescription from your dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon.

One of the BEST cosmetic surgeons in FL I know of is 

Dr. Mark Pinsky in Palm Beach Gardens – he and his staff would be delighted to talk to you about Latisee or anything else you would like cosmetically for a more vibrant you.

http://www.pinskylickstein.com

and this is Dr. Pinskys  link-and ask for Susan Blastic -she is just wonderful and so kind..

Just following up with things that REALLY work for you ….

APPSNEWBIE SAYS 

No scam here.

MINNIE MOUSE EYELASHES -YES- it ACTUALLY WORKS… LATISSE

Technology and science never cease to amaze me.

One major reason for my amazement is that SO many treatments and medicines were discovered by accident;
Science was looking for one cure – and ended up with quite another result.
I have an example-a graphic example with the treatment called

LATISSE by ALLERGAN .Iit was being used for an eye disorder. Upon usage, physicians and scientists noticed the side effect of a lengthening- thickening and growing of eyelashes of people who used the drug.

THANK YOU JEEESUS

YAAY ….
After a visit with my dermatologist- and with a prescription, I just started down the happy pathway to having Minnie Mouse eyelashes.Apparently, each eyelash has a 5 week lifecycle-I guess  it takes awhile at least 2 months to see tangible results.
I will keep you informed.

TEXAS AUTOBAHN:DEATH BY TEXT:NO NIGHT DRIVING SPEED LIMITS

HONK and Copy the link.

Thank you so much for a REALLY great visual.

My appreciation to http://www.autoguide.com

and Vertical Scope.

They REALLY are experts in the transportation market and what a great visual.

THE NEW TEXAS AUTOBAHN: NO SPEED LIMIT AND

MORE DEATH BY TEXT ?

Well, dip me in butter and roll me in nuts- as  I gleefully plagarize Berta of Two and a Half Men.

I am SPEECHLESS –nearly – at the decision of the Texas House of Representatives who approved a new transportation bill that will raise speed limits up to 85 mph in select areas, and put an END to the night-time speed limit as well.

This is I ADDITION to the VETO by Governor Perry of the Texas statewide ban on texting while driving bill.

HMM- are we not killing and maiming each other fast enough? We need help, already?

That Vetoed bill was Texas House Bill 242, which would have enacted a statewide ban on texting while driving. At least three cities, including Austin, Texas have already banned such texting, and the state already bans texting in school zones. ( A nod to the safety of children)

Governor Perry said that texting while driving “is reckless and irresponsible” but that he saw the distracted driving bill as “a government effort to micromanage the behavior of adults.”

(LIKE WE DO NOT NEED TO HAVE OUR DRIVING MANAGED? ASKS) Current Texas law already prohibits drivers under age 18 from texting behind the wheel.

BUT – just how is this enforced –and what are the penalties? Another  paper tiger?

YIPPPEE- let me see- no speed limit- no text bans- no limits.

By the way- Appsnewbie has lived in Texas- I know of whence I speak about Texas driving habits. Driving the rush hours and Houston and Dallas Texas are like taking your life in your own hands – and

The hill country in Texas – at night is pitch black- in the winter the hills are GLAZED with ice –and extremely steep.

In Texas there are NO sand trucks –or snow plows-

(In your dreams)and the Texas driver only knows how to stomp on  the brakes-and forget about knowing how to drive on ice.

Here it is- y’all are on a back road in your Suburban-

Just been out partying –driving  between  Round Rock and Georgetown- just cruising after a FUN night in downtown Austin – just a few brews- so floor that puppy and text your friend in another vehicle

More TV Bargains at www.brandsmartusa.com

 The price of TV sets ala I Love Lucy ( which I REALLY DO) is still dropping.

And the  3D tech price is falling just as fast

WOW.

Can you believe

A 50” Plasma  TV  for $ 599.98

A 50” 3D TV  for $ 799- INCLUDING 2 pair of the 3D Glasses?

AND The Largest LED LCD TV in America

A 70 ” TV for $2969.99.

 Lets see how fast THAT price drops.

More and more people are moving away- and demanding with their wallet -the personalization of entertainment that  you can only get from mobile devices.

The TV advertisers and old style networks  are  going to face a huge viewership struggle .

We Smartphone – mobile content users are moving into our preferred zone of customizable content.

 And the classic TV networks are going to be compelled  to move swiftly and well to keep our interest- they do NOT want to be another AOL-

Which REALLY is a planned article:

 Ah, www.AOL.com,my almost first love.

On days  when I was connected in 2 minutes after searching for a DOZEN open lines I though I hit the jackpot: and initially, you could not get unlimited online time. Rationed internet- seems like the Stone Age.. .

they were once to the internet what Kleenex is to tissue.

How many sneezing people have you ever heard  say’ “ Give me a Scotty?”hmmm?

We shall see.More of my crystal ball – sans rabbit  ears yet to come-
