Bar coding apps freak out stores

The Ubiquitous barcode can now be
scanned by your 'smart' phone
Could those new bar code apps on your smart but actually pretty irritating phone really make people want to shop 24/7? Who really knows, it seems that the fad now as reported on SMH is that people can do a fast comparison of yet a another useless set of items in a shop for stuff people don't really need. Using an app to scan barcodes of products is apparently, for no really good reason it seems, is called "showrooming" seriously? Ebay has had this function on their app for quite sometime now.

SMH makes a mild report on it
