It definitely "works" Lydia. I think its just that one has to read it, then to *see* it, to appreciate the irony. I think its great, tho, its not the most attractive image, unless you happen to be a corporate lawyer ";^D It definitely qualifies as ironic. Cheers, -mikey

*heavy sigh* I don't know what to do to make it work... It shows on my monitor quite clearly... *sigh* I'm not good at irony. Sarcasm? Now I can do sarcasm... maybe not photograph it, though. ~Lydia

This works to document an irony quite well & would work as an example to show in a lecture. But it's hard to see it as a picy init, in fact I don't:-) Even though it's just slightly better than my Eligible picys at the moment:-)

Thanks, Doug and Konstantin. I brightened it a tad. Lydia

Lydia - you were faster ! :-).

Yes, I also have seen this hmm ... a bit strange postulate and wanted to use it some how but had to spend all my time discussing some legal issues & regulations ... you know :-).
Became elder ... reaction is not as good as before ...
Have no idea how I would realize the idea, but I really like how you did this.

Probably a bit brighter, specially this word in plural ?
I would also do a bit brighter HP logo.Think that this would bring a bit of additional irony here.
Good luck with this entry, have a feeling of involvement here :-)

Konstantin.

I found that slightly brightened hp logo, good touch. I'm getting used to your clever photography ideas and skills though Lydia. -COAmature

I thought I'd point out how they should have worded their text, if they were following their own rules (just in case everyone's mother was not a grammar teacher as mine was. *grin*).

The correct way, according to their own explanation would be, "For more information on how to use Apple trademarks..." No apostrophe and no 's', since they've made a point to tell us in the sentence before that trademarks are adjectives and cannot be made possessive, yet they go on to do it three times in the next two sentences and chart heading. *rolleyes* I love it! Ha! ~Lydia

It's ironic that I have the Apple trademark information photographed on top of my HP scanner. I was hoping someone would notice! *grin* Thanks, Mikey. ~Lydia

Took me a while to see it, but LOL, yup "do what I say, not what I do", ha! Good catch, Lydia. Just curious, what does the "HP" logo have to do with it? Cheers, -mikey
