This is a picture that the New York Times posted on its website.
Jack L. Messman, left, the chief of Novell, and Richard Seibt, the chief of SuSE Linux, in Nuremberg, Germany, last week. Novell has made a deal to acquire SuSE.
What do we see?
Two guys who took off their suit jackets to put on some t-shirts. I'm sure the t-shirts were thought to be emblematic of the Linux ouevre.
One of the guys has a pair of safety glasses in his hand, or a pair of very unfashionable spectacles.
The short guy has a shiny face.
The background is too busy.
And, this is a picture that was sent out by the public relations team. The photo credit is: SuSE Linux. So we can't even blame it on a photographer on the loose. This was a photo staged by and chosen by the public relations team.
Pity.
