That's cool. When you scan the barcode, are you brought to the newspapers website? If so, why don't they just let people go there by themselves. What is the benifit of a paper offering this bar code technology?

I had the same thoughts. It's like that old saying, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" I guess it's just another feature to have. Hate to say it but I won't be buying a newspaper because it has this feature.
