surely since you have the link you have read the article?

1) When you write a text in the text input field and click the "in_txt" button, the text appears on the page. When you select an image on your computer with the "Choose File" button and click the "in_img" button, the picture appears on the page. 2) "In layer:06 of Serial Experiments Lain1, a gauge on Lain’s liquid cooling system is shown twice. Both times, “mebious.co.uk” is shown. It’s linked to from the top left of http://www.guevin.com/ (the text is white on white so you’ll have to highlight it to see it). mebious.co.uk itself used to show http://www.monkie.f2s.com/mebious/ in a frame and redirect repeatedly to http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/ (it’s now self contained, although the content is the same, so I think it’s still operated by UKResistance). Its favicon is an allusion to the pressure gauge in Lain that the URL was displayed on. According to this Everything2 entry, it used to be fake so perhaps UKResistance are just capitalising on the fact that there was nothing there before to increase their own traffic. And Anime-Myth.com implies a connection with Baudrillard, a notion I obviously really want to entertain (watch out, the site’s very pink). Having said that, why would a .co.uk thing be inserted into SEL? I don’t know if it’s just the UK version that has it - others say they’ve seen it, but I can’t be sure where their versions were ripped from. I suspect that it’s in all of them. Earradhubh found Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mebious.co.uk. Have a look at the Wayback Machine for its history (relatively boring). For more discussion on Lain - or for now, text from the artbook omnipresence in wired - see http://disinformatics.com/lain.html ."

It is seen written on an electric pressure gauge attached to Lain's modified Navi, as a fake URL 'mebious.co.uk'. Mebious is a brand name of a Sharp notebook computer."
