Enjoy our IBM/Sun spot the difference challenge

Workstation airbrushed from history

Understand how application security is evolving

We have an added bonus today for those readers who enjoyed Thomas C. Greene's recent IBM pr gaffe story.

To recap, one of IBM's research boffins was pictured on the company's website using a Sun workstation for his earnest and ground-breaking research.

Embarrassment indeed for IBM, and malicious pleasure for Reg readers. Naturally, the company moved swiftly to airbrush the offending item from history.

That would have been an end to it, had the wife of regular correspondent lefthandpostbox not saved the original. This presence of mind now offers readers the chance to further savour IBM's discomfort with our exclusive IBM/Sun spot-the-difference competition.

Carefully examine the two photos below and see if anything catches your eye:

Sun: airbrushed from history

Of course, Vulture Central fully accepts that the original picture was a genuine mistake, and that any right-minded company would take immediate measures to rectify the outrage. In this case, however, several word come to mind. For an added bit of fun, see if you can form them into a well-known phrase:

  • Horse
  • Stable door
  • Bolted
Bootnote
