QR Codes quickly and easily send links t...

I was at a web page explaining how to install the wake on lan application for the g1 when I saw something claiming to be a QR link to the application. I googled it and found that the Barcode Scanner app can read QR codes. The g1 scanned the image then gave me the link to the page. They can also link...

Turns out my headphones are also a micro...

Microphones and speakers are really the same thing, they are just a diaphragm  a magnet and a coil used to convert an analog electric signal into sound or vice versa. In a pinch you can plug your headphones into your mic jack and talk into your headphones. I wouldn’t recommend trying to hear...
