I mean, how can a image store that information?

Your browser is sending that information in its request for every webpage!

Its all contained in the browser user agent string which is sent along with every request:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

The IP address is also sent with every request and they do a reverse lookup on the IP address to get the host name.

Its not an image as such, but an dynamic page that pretends to be an image. So when you view it, it collects the info and then draws it onto an image, and then sends that image to the browser.

Ah, but if thats what the website does, then how would it work if i attached it to my avatar/signature for examples?

Wouldnt the information have to be hard coded, as all i would be doing is showing the information, not actually loading anything?

[NoteMe]

You are attaching a dynamic web page...

[Madboy]

ahh, so basically i just link to it if thats what i wanted to do?

Got ya

Yeah its standard information you send with every web request. Have a look at the small script I made, it shows all the info you send with your request.

all that information plus bank passwords, work computer passwords etc, are stored with that image and sent to me in an email everyday.
