[brinary001]

What fun! I didn't know this was a thing. Very funny, though.

Aren't armoires book books for imacs? (however that stupid word is spelled)

I too think that armoires look great with that "battered old book made out of pleather" look.

Samsung's Fli-Fy Pigeon Network

Funniest joke I've seen come from Samsung since the Galaxy Gear.

I must say, ifixit got me good early this morning. I got an email from them at around 4:00AM. Down at the bottom was a note to check my calendar before venting, which turned out to be a link to Wikipedia. It was all very convincing.

and iFixIt gets sued by Apple in 3 .. 2 .. 1 ..

Probably be cheaper to actually buy them

This one is from Google Adwords... You can put your ads on real birds... Google Ad Birds... LOL

All news stories posted on our front page, iOS Blog, and Mac Blog today are real.

Real? It's all stores on rumors and made up stories. I don't know how many contradicting stories there are about iPhone sizes, but "real"? I'm not so sure about that.

Might as well has have a few April Fools jokes...

Apple to add micro SD slot on iPhone to allow up 256GB memory expansion!

SelfieBot - only a joke for now

The worst thing is that you know the SelfieBot is coming as soon as the tech reaches consumer feasablity. There are no limits to selfie narcissism.

God I hate April 1st.

You guys must be fun at parties.

Hey, its just the Front Page, Mac Blog and iOS Blog they are talking about. Take a look at the Good News section today.

1. Buy iFixit
2. Shut it down, as it is useless for the latest Apple gear
3. PROFIT!

Love it! I vote for this one.
128GB on-board + 128 microSD

This is a April Fool Day's joke, come on Macrumors....

I don't understand people like you at all. I for one appreciate that they post industry-relevant information. Not every single news entry has to be about Mac-related rumours.

Seeing as you lot keep popping up every time a non-Apple thread is made and complain endlessly about the material posted by this site, why are you even still around?

 

[epic-retouching]

some jokes are good some are so lame, which is sad to see from big companies like deviantart for example lol???

It is so annoying when you are seriously researching stuff and constantly get jokes blocking you but whatever, one day a year. I can deal with it. Just get fooled once or twice cool but it goes on for two days (+10 timezone for me) and it gets so boring to constantly experience lol

 

[Zedcars]

ahahha i laughed so hard at all of these... though the ifix it one initially fooled me until i got to the part about "replacability" that was epic!

Wow, you laughed hard at these lame "jokes"? Really?

 

[mvmanolov]

Wow, you laughed hard at these lame "jokes"? Really?

well, i suppose to each their own...

but can i ask you a question though? What was the point of your post?

i mean don't get me wrong.... it is actually quite flattering to know that you think a discussion about my taste in jokes is relevant for the approximately 3500 viewers of this post...

 

[Lord Hamsa]

Wow, you laughed hard at these lame "jokes"? Really?

I assumed that was an April Fool's Joke in and of itself.

 

[stuffradio]

The iFixit one had me worried for a second.

 

[Peace]

The Selfiebot is the best one imho.

Especially at the end where it sees the robots taking over the world and then turns to look at the couple..

Besides this new generation really needs it.

HAL 9000..

 

[Ezhik]

I see AppleInsider got fooled by the iFixit one.

Man, those guys have no sense of humor at all.

 

[mrxak]

Most of these are pretty bad. The iFixit one is good, if a bit mean-spirited.

I do think it's hilarious that MacRumors thinks that all their stories today are "real" though.

 

[pdaholic]

MacRumors has not participated in April Fools' Day prank news stories on its regular news pages in past years, and has no plans to break from that tradition this year. All news stories posted on our front page, iOS Blog, and Mac Blog today are real.

No fake rumors here, just real rumors. Thanks MacRumors!

No fake rumors here, just real rumors. Thanks MacRumors!

Yeah... lol. No kidding.

Wow, you laughed hard at these lame "jokes"? Really?

You sound fun. Let's hang out! :roll eyes:

lol...
