Brilliant! The entire page is a hoot! Bravo, MR, Bravo!

That page must have taken weeks to think up -- but an app called "TuneAbout" would be cool....

EDIT: "My virus won't compile (315)" -- LOL

2nyRiggz · Apr 1, 2006, 12:52 AM

Awww...feels so good to be welcomed...

Bless

EricNau · Apr 1, 2006, 01:00 AM

Happy April Fools!

Thanks MacRumors team!

MacFan782040 · Apr 1, 2006, 01:20 AM

Ahhh this stuff made me laugh

Especially the posts:

W00T OMG LOL!1!!1 (0)

TextEdit feels faster after Mac OS X Update (75)

Does Bluetooth come in other colors? (86)

Keep up the good work, MR

. We have a nice community here I'm proud to be a part of.

Perceptes · Apr 1, 2006, 01:27 AM

Totally genius. Doctor Q did a great job on that page, although I'm still convinced some of those things are actually real.

joker2 · Apr 1, 2006, 01:36 AM

I love it. Great job on the stories! Steve Jobs now reports to himself...

WildCowboy · Apr 1, 2006, 01:44 AM

Am I just an idiot? I'm not seeing any of the shenanigans you guys are talking about.

Edit: Nevermind...I didn't flip all the way to Page 3.

I'm sending in my iPod right now...looking forward to receiving my pyramid.

liketom · Apr 1, 2006, 01:51 AM

COOOL COOOL COOOL

Page 3 should stay

i'm was expecting a shift back to G5 fom Intel thread

and a Bill Gates Buys Apple thread

well done MR must have took ages !

bravo

WildCowboy · Apr 1, 2006, 01:54 AM

Yeah, where's the G5 PowerBook's next Tuesday thread?

And where's the "Enough of the Effing ™ Threads" thread? Oh wait, that's a real one.

Garageband needs more cowbell...my side hurts.

mkrishnan · Apr 1, 2006, 01:58 AM

Happy April fools!!!!

And happy April, Team MR!

How come my iPod doesn't have a slot on the side???? I've heard other people are putting CDs into their iPods.... I tried to "rip" one of mine apart, but this technology is too complicated.

blackfox · Apr 1, 2006, 02:12 AM

Thanks mods/membership. For the laughs, for the information, for the drama and for being such a damn fine community.

I appreciate the efforts. On April Fools and on all the other days over the years.

Cheers.

That was targetted specifically at me.

jimN · Apr 1, 2006, 03:27 AM

So subtle I almost missed it, which would have been a shame given how much work has been put in. Talk about attention to detail.

Hehe... Jonathan Ives and Phil Schiller say so.

It must be true!

Thanks, team, for a hilarious start to April 1st and for all your efforts on site.

You can add this one too if you want:

Should keep you lot busy

EDIT: Why do people see Aprils Fools as a chance to wreck a perfectly good news site. http://www.digg.com/diggall is filled up with all sorts of "hilarious" "jokes" as "u r a fag lol!!!!!!!!"

Blue Velvet · Apr 1, 2006, 04:08 AM

Excellent stuff and highly amusing, especially when you've been around here for a wee while... kudos to all involved.

And this one is great too... sometimes it really does seem like this is how "true rumors" come about.
