Running into the bug mentioned on this css-discuss archive:

When the container div is set to the exact size of the background image AND the background position is other than 0 0 (px,cm,pt,em) then the background position is ALWAYS repeated, even if position-repeat has been set to no-repeat.

Here’s a related example of the bug (This one happens when the bg img is positioned to anything other than 0 0, and it’s container is smaller than the bg img).

This may be fixed in safari 2? We’re running 1.3 here.

The seemingly obvious pyramid scheme know as freeipods.com, (yes that’s my referrer link) got a shot in the arm yesterday when Wired devoted an entire article to the fact that it’s legitimate.

Complete with semi-convincing external URL’s you’re now thinking, yeah – I’ll give that a shot, There’s no way Wired.com got it wrong. Is there? But Wouldn’t we have seen MORE people on the internet receiving their free ipods? The small handful of “verifiable cases” opens the floodgates of second doubts. My opinion is that the offer is in fact real, it’s just harder than it sounds to complete the actual requirements. It’s too good not to try, we’ve all got that email no longer worth hiding from spammers anyway, it’s the one you use on friendster and classmates.com.

macosxhints – Send SMS messages to mobile phones from iChat… This puppy works amazingly!! Text message recipient can even text you back, and BAM – pops right up in iChat. Great for people like me who no longer can afford a cell phone, but still nee to conduct some basic forms of long distance communication. TRY IT NOW.
