Good question Lawrence, and I probably should have explained that in the post. You can scan them with anything that can read QR codes; in practice, for the general public this means using a mobile phone that has QR reader software installed and also has a camera. The company I linked to, Scan Life, provides software for phones that does this. If you have an iPhone or an Android phone, access the app store of your preference and search for "QR code" and you're sure to find many offerings. I'm not sure how apps work with Blackberries, but this link explains which software you can get.

What the phone does when you scan the code depends on what the code says. If the code is for a hyperlink, you'll be brought to the page it links to, but you can also encode contact information, email addresses, or just plain text.
