Random QR Code

If i'm on my PC, I use Windows Media Center on Windows Vista to watch TV. Hell it's great, except when you use it with a damn keyboard and mouse. So, I got myself a super cheap SpeedLink media remote. When it came, I unboxed it and noticed a very very small QR code, right on the back of the reciever. Being the very excitable person that I am, I grabbed my phone and started the QR code reader, only to find that it was a code that linked me to a weird page.

The site, i-nigma, has absolutely nothing to do with SpeedLink at all, so I have no idea what the hell they're trying to pull. Meh, the remote works.

I was looking for random QR codes and found this page. If you look you'll see the sequence of numbers starting with 4027... appears as EAN: across the edge of the image.

As the above user said, when the code is scanned, just google search it. It pretty clearly shows the SpeedLink Media Remote then.

Yeah I can see now that the phantom page was from the QR reader trying to search for the product using an arbitrary site. I guess this post now serves as a standing example of my incompetence :P
