So, What is a CueCat??

It is a Small Hand Held Bar Code Scanner. It was brought into the world by a now defunct company called "Digital Convergence", their plan was to get these scanners into the world to help tie you and advertisers together... Simple, the vendor puts their bar coded link into the ad they are running in a publication, you scan the bar code and you're off to the site for the item you are interested in.....
There goes the rub. Little known to the users was that each time you used the CueCat a encoded data stream was sent to Digital Convergence letting them track what you were doing. That was information they wanted to sell to help judge your buying habits and for use in demographic surveys.... Shades of 1984...
So now that Digital Convergence is dead who cares.... Read on

Long live the hackers, these people found that with a few minor modifications the CueCat could be made to work as a standard bar code reader. Free software was written for the Windows, Linux, Unix, MAC and other OS's which helps to tame the CueCat and undo the stealthy reason behind Digital Convergences business plan.
