And that, ladies and gentelmen, is how you do in app purchase right

A good QR / bar code scanner, works well with the iMac webcam, low ressources use, can be customized a bit, so everything you need if you want to read QR codes on your Apple computer.

Now, I was a bit worried about the in-app purchases. But. It reads "small donation", "medium donation", "big donation" in all honnesty, and I love that idea!
