"Note that the bytes are saved in reverse order in the memory as Intel uses Little Endian representation. That means the most significant bit of every byte is the most left bit."

Haven't they got this backwards? Little Endian means the least significant bit is stored first [0].

Little endian means that the least significant byte is stored first. The bits within each byte are stored with the most significant first.
