Flash Enthusiast Sends a Hidden Message To Steve Jobs

A Flash sniffer is a piece of code that detects whether the user's browser supports Flash; if it doesn't, it displays a message that points the user to download the latest version of Flash. It is, of course, useless on an iPad or an iPhone, because these devices don't support Flash at all. However, Bisher came up with the idea to use a Flash sniffer on his personal site to voice his opinion on Apple's stance towards Flash.

So, if you visit Bisher's site on an iPhone or iPad, you'll encounter an image of Steve Jobs flipping you off, accompanied by the message "Steve Jobs Hates You." It's just one little site displaying this message right now, but he's offered to let anyone use the message on their own sites. If you're browsing the web with your Apple device, expect to see Steve Jobs's face appear on a lot more Flash-only sites in the coming months.
