Here’s today’s question…

I received a USB credit-card-looking device in the mail, plugged it into my mac (in my test environment of course) and it opened up a web browser and sent me to a promotion site. The question is, by what means did it do this (and how could it do it consistently on multiple platforms with different web browsers)? I’m looking for a general answer of the functionality, not specific instructions.
