Google has been busy. Wonder how much they spend creating these: ...

Old. Aren't there like about a half dozen iPhone apps that do this already?

If you're running the Safari plugin Adblock they're showing pictures of cats instead of grayed out areas where ads were.

I'm using Chrome adblock. Same thing. Took me forever to figure out what was up with all the cats on the web today.

Chrome warned me that the Google Nigeria site may be a phishing site.

Quite clever to use April fools to test new product concepts. Means they won't lose face if it gets a bad response.

Great Day

The April Fool's Day is the Great Day for Apple and World.

Usually everything Think Geek comes up with for April Fool's gets made. Remember the iCade Arcade box for the iPad? They sell it on their website and in Best Buys!

I was going to say the same thing.... I think they use this day to test the marketability of devices.

Laughed at the google maps one... Especially when looking at Long/Lat 0.00000, 0.00000 and Microsoft in Redmond, WA.

Boggles my mind that someone was paid probably for months coming up with the change that will stay active for two days.

Yes, its awesome!
Just too good to take if off!

One of my friends sent ThinkGeek a message telling them to put on the Konami code on their site: give it a try (Up up down down left right left right B A Enter)! (It has to do with their hungry-hungry hippos game, but I'll let you see for yourself )

Ha! That was excellent! Didn't think anything would happened,but it did. Clever. Very clever indeed.
