Grocery shopping just got a heck of a lot easier with this device called hiku . You scan the barcode of an item you’re running out of or finished OR you speak what item you need right into the hiku and then it magically sends (well, via Wi-Fi) the item name to a list on your phone. No more forgetting food when you’re at the store because you’ll have the list that you’ve been accumulating with you

So what do you think? Would this make you pay attention to barcodes? I certainly would.  See lots more here.
