Today’s iPhone software version 1.1.3 supports a feature called WebClip which lets you add a bookmark icon for a website or iPhone specific web app directly to your home screen. While doing this the iPhone asks the server for an image called apple-touch-icon.png:

One video I’m particularly fond of is Glósóli from the album Takk. (The video is available on the DVD part of the special edition Sæglópur EP.) I just love the concept of the video set in a [...]
