Seeing as that's in San Francisco, blocks from Yahoo! HQ, I'm sure the ironic humor is not missed by Yahoo! and would not be surprised in the slightest if it was on purpose.

@metroproper
Actually, a 404 doesn't indicate that you can't communicate with a webserver; It means that the document requested by the client does not exist: "Not Found".

I understand what a 404 error is, I'm just not feelin the funny here.

Then again, it was taken by someone who uses a Nikon. I find that funny.
Posted 32 months ago. ( permalink )

Quavistar says:

I missed the "404 error message" altogether, what I saw initially were fans; a bunch of unhappy fans that had nothing to "Yahoo!" or cheer about because their team was obviously not winning. Perhaps the guy that's leaving has had enough?

brianatx says:

This is fake. Provably photoshopped.

Consider: www.flickr.com/photos/8067131@N05/481666258/

Look at the perspective lines. In order to match the bottom perspective on both of the 4's, it has to cut through the bottom of the 0.

Even then, they do not quite match up with the perspective of the backboards.

You can replicate this on the original photo.
Posted 32 months ago. ( permalink )

Dunbone says:

I beg to differ brianatx.. (btw, where are YOUR pictures?)

Consider : www.flickr.com/photos/kaz/124477481/in/set-72 157594316295...

Also consider the EXIF data (if you know what that is....)
If it had been modified in photoshop or something, then the software info in the EXIF data would read the software's name. In this case, this photo has not been modified.

But thanks anyway Columbo, that's 15 mintues you won't be getting back...

jkenning says:

Actually, brianatx, it's just good typography. Curved letters and numbers should always sit slightly below the baseline of their straight counterparts, in order to be optically aligned. You'll notice that even a program as unsophisticated as Microsoft Word does this automatically.

You should totally submit this to the Consumerist flickr pool.
Posted 32 months ago. ( permalink )

brianatx says:

Very well, I retract. I'll update my listing.

I do have a couple of comments:

1) A piece of data in a file is just a piece of data. Are you telling me, Dunbone, that if Photoshop can alter EXIF data that another program can't?

2) Zoomed out photos aren't helpful. So offering that as evidence isn't helpful either.

I did see a second photo in this collection that had it, though I haven't seen another photo from a secondary source that shows it.
