Comment Re:A little bit unfair about the strip (Score 2) 125

OK so it is agreed that we here in this Macbook design meeting know everything about every application that every user will ever want to run, and none of them would benefit from having a touchscreen.

Comment Move it to DNS? (Score 1) 35

Maybe favicons could be better implemented as a general DNS based solution to associate small images with any names independent of web apps. That would make them more efficient and less easy to abuse to track users.

So something like dig IMG _logo._png.faphorse.com gets you a base64 encoded image of the type requested. Some images could fit in a TXT record.
