Hacking Amazon

Since Amazon has to display the same image in many different sizes with subtle modifications for different promotions, they don’t actually store all the variations of the images. They have a standard picture and dynamically generate the image based on parameters passed in the url. Someone spent some time figuring out the different parameters and came up with interesting images.
