Koldov Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Or is this ironic? Actually is it? Because if I say it is, I know someone will have to explain irony and why it isn't... You know like the Alanis Morissette song... Kol.
sparkeh Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 someone will have to explain irony "It's like "goldy" and "bronzy" only it's made out of iron." -Baldrick 1987 4
Koldov Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 Now do I admit that took me a couple of seconds? I was like, is that ironic that it's goldy and bronzy but made out of iron... ? Kol.
tmcd35 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Welll, someone had to post it! (and, yes, that Apple plug in does strike me as ironic - for a MS site, in a MS browser. I wonder what it say's if you click on the "tell me about the risks" button?)
localzuk Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 No no, its incongruous not ironic! Irony has to reveal some lesson on human vanity or folly... *argument start* 1
tmcd35 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 No no, its incongruous not ironic! Irony has to reveal some lesson on human vanity or folly... *argument start* You mean like "rain on your wedding day"? (lesson on human folly being "don't get married in February") See, I'd say Irony is a juxtaposition of an expected outcome given a chain of events - like Microsoft using an Apple plugin
Jawloms Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Or Apple's iCloud stuff running on Microsoft tech; Apple's iCloud runs on Microsoft and Amazon services Not ironic, just funny.
localzuk Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 You mean like "rain on your wedding day"? (lesson on human folly being "don't get married in February") See, I'd say Irony is a juxtaposition of an expected outcome given a chain of events - like Microsoft using an Apple plugin Nah, irony is more strict than that. The 3 Most Common Uses of Irony - The Oatmeal covers it quite nicely. Well, except for the bit about not debating irony...
crc-ict Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 You mean like "rain on your wedding day"? (lesson on human folly being "don't get married in February") Isn't that more like 'Don't get married in Britain'
Garacesh Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Isn't that more like 'Don't get married in Britain' Or if Slash is around
CAM Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 They already stated years back when it was revealed Macs were used for image editing on Windows projects that they use the most suitable tool for the job.
Koldov Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 Irony has to reveal some lesson on human vanity or folly And MS could never be accused of that... Kol.
Koldov Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 Or if Slash is around This one? It only rains at the funeral in the end, doesn't it? Kol.
Garacesh Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 This one? It only rains at the funeral in the end, doesn't it? Kol. I dunno. Maybe. Not a massive GnR fan, so you're probably right.
mthomas08 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Almost as bad as these people who buy a Mac and then install windows on it. Irony..
tmcd35 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Almost as bad as these people who buy a Mac and then install windows on it. (not that I'm guilty of doing this, or anything...)
mthomas08 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 [ATTACH=CONFIG]23223[/ATTACH] (not that I'm guilty of doing this, or anything...) It's okay, I know some one who got so bored and fed-up. He installed Windows on the Mac and Mac on the Windows PC............ his answer "Cos I could". 1
