stopped getting fooled guys..its just a .htaccess mod.
when you open in this page,the file is being hotlinked from the url.but when you download it,you are directly accessing pic on THEIR domain(which is not hotlinking).just see the following url to get my point.they can modify what file is served.

In short,
Htaccess allows you to
1.display custom images detecting image hotlinking
2.display original image for a given referrer(s)
RESULT: Its no mind game,its just some clever guy out there who must be laughing the shit out of himself looking at threads simliar to this everywhere.

Sorry! But your theory failed! Your reply is completely wrong
I even thought so at first, but it isn't like that. The picture is uploaded on some public image host.
Want more test?
Download the image
Reupload on your website
Hotlink it in any page

LOL I didnt see any difference untill I saw this with my computer. You can see the same image thru my phone. I opened this thread with my computer and I saw the girl and her bunny and said WTF?
Explanation:
Starting with the image in paint, the trees. They clearly have a white grid of pixels (i.e. every other pixel appears to be white).
In actual fact, these 'white' pixels are coloured pixels with a maximum value and very low saturation (using the HSV model), meaning they are coloured but have maximum brightness so appear white.
Decreasing the saturation and value of all pixels causes the 'white' ones to become visible (coloured) and the originally coloured ones become black.
Why browsers display the pixels differently to other applications, im not sure, but that's the explanation of how, just not the why.
