Technology related April fools

youcancallmeal

I've always found technology related April fools to be the funniest because some of my not so technologically savvy friends will often believe some of these articles (If not shown to them on April fools of course )

You can always rely on Google

Also google maps has a 3d mode on streetview.

My favourite so far today

The register is going all out:

I'm not even sure if this is supposed to be an April fools?

Anyone got any more?

I remember when I was younger there were these wireless extension leads connectors for a regular ac socket on thinkgeek.com
Me and a couple of mates had made a hut in some woods and it could have really done with some electricity.
So naturally when I saw this thing for $69 I tried to buy it...

A sad day for my brain lol

Came home from work today to a blue screen on my pc, kids had set it as screen saver and unplugged the mouse and keyboard. Rightly caught.

One prank I've done myself, hide the taskbar, take a screenshot of the desktop and set it as desktop background, then right click on the desktop and hide icons

Bit late now but did anyone see tech power ups one? They spoofed an article about some chinese programmer making a cuda emulator that works on ati cards. I fell for it hard and went as far as to run the program in admin mode:eek: to see an april fools message when I tried to debug the compatability error on fluidmark :rolleyes:
