localStorage.setItem cannot be used in Safari private browsing #14

Just thought I'd let you know that instajam will not work in private browsing mode in Safari (and possibly other browsers).

localsStorage.setItem throws an exception, and will not store anything. This means that options.data.access_token = localStorage.getItem('instagram_access_token') will always return null.

That's Safari thing, it doesn't allow either localStorage or sessionStorage in private mode.
