This is interesting, data embeded in an URL – RFC 2397

I saw this on hackzine today, very interesting, time to ponder some uses.

I discovered a URI called "data:" today which allows you to encode any amount of file data into a URL. This data could be an image, ascii text, xml data, you name it. You'll have to read the details, but you use it like this:
data:image/jpeg;base64,base_64_encoded_jpeg_goes_here

IE 7, Do these guys have quality control?

While upgrading to IE 7, I get the following window with unreadable text, how did this crap get through their quality control? The IE guys never cease to amaze me.

I will say, IE 7 seems a little bit snappier than 6, but I guess all the UI guys were sequestered working on the Zune, because IE 7 sports one of the fugliest interfaces I've every seen.
