What is this symbol and why is it everywhere?

I also wonder what the rules are on QR codes and swear words :mischief:

EDIT: BTW one of the coolest things about QR codes is that you can generate them on your phone for your house's Wi-Fi settings to easily share them with your friends, and without having to tell your friend your password. There are a lot of uses for neat things you can do with QR codes to easily share information across short distances.
 
A QR code. Made by Toyota or some company in Japan and if you have the right device that has a camera, you can just point the camera to it and it'll read it and write the message on screen or direct you to a website or sell your soul to Satan or any number of things!

It is safer than putting lasers in cell phones.

It's a Muslim symbol for Allah. If you see something with that, then you know a Muslim produced that thing.

Actually, it's used to indicate that something is edible. :)

It's also pretty damned useful as a next-generation bar code. You can compress a lot more information into that than you can a one-D barcode.

And just to make it clear to the OP, it's not one symbol, it changes according to the information encoded.

This.

Our surgery department just went to barcoding so that every instrument, device, scope or 'bot is coded - we then always know where it is and who's got it. It's incredibly efficient.

I dunno about you, but I don't have any markings on my forehead, or on my hand. We also don't have a world government or world currency, and are not making any steps toward such.

Actually, we are. We're slowly seeing increased global integration in the form of free-trade agreements, the Euro, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, et cetera, and obviously the Internet.

Point taken, although I would probably try to say that none of those are actually forms of world government. I don't know about the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, though. So I'm just going to shut up now.
 
No one will accept world government in a labeled can. It's being fed to us one Pringle at a time... and for some reason, we can't stop...

Have you ever eaten only half of the Pringles can?
