rfc2397 and the iPhone
This is me using rfc2397. It will work if youâre on >Firefox2, Opera or Safari3 and IE7 if you install this plugin. Wonât work with IE6, like if anyone with this virus would visit my Blog.
Whatâs the point of this and whatâs the relation to iPhone ?

Here at SAPO we recently struggled to get a way to dynamically generate inline images on a web page, in all browsers.…

Hacker Tool Law
