i was looking on mac rumors and i was like

I don't have to "believe" you. I can prove the truth online. Apple was "founded" 4-1-76 and you were "founded" 9 months before 4-1-94.
Vastly different years. Vastly different months.
Apple was NOT started on your birthday nor was your founding day the same as Apple's.
I have free advise.
Buy Apple stock.
Rocketman
If the resolution of this web page were 1/6 as good, and still monochrome like 4-1-08, I would think I was viewing a Mac+.
lets put it this way, I celebrate my birthday on the same day apple celebrates their anniversary. if they "celebrate".
and i do have a little apple stock in my name. btw
Post a scan of your birth certificate/SSN!
i will see if i can find it tmmrw. Busy with homework and setting up my new speakers i got today from my bday.
Dude, I think it was a joke. I wouldn't recommend posting your SSN online.
I'm sure there was a large and heavy amount of sarcasm in his post.
Aborted prank.
My wife and I were going to try the following on my 13-year old stepson, but he woke up too early, before we had set it up.
We were going to set all the clocks in the house an hour AHEAD, including his alarm clock. Then, neither my wife nor I work on Tuesdays, we would go back to bed. He would wake up an hour early, and head to the school bus stop an hour early. On Tuesdays, he often leaves for school before we get up.
While he was waiting for the bus, we were going to set the clocks back TWO hours (so that they now read one hour earlier than the real time instead of one hour later.) We figure he would wait for the bus for half an hour, figure he had missed it or something, and come home. When he walked in, we were going to ask "What were you doing outside? You normally aren't even up yet..." Give him a few minutes to be confused, then let him run to the bus for the real time...
(Either that, or after he left, we were going to set the clock two hours FARTHER forward, that way when he got back confused, he would think he was *REALLY* late, and we'd say something to the effect of "Why were you waiting for the bus for two hours?!?" and see if he could figure out what happened with his "missing time".)

I did something like that to my poor wife, but it was for her birthday, not an April Fool prank.
We were going to Disneyland for the day. In the middle of the night, I got up and set all the clocks ahead an hour, including her watch. She was a bit sleepy in the morning, when the clock said it was time to get up, but it was OK.
When we got to Disneyland, I told her I had a gift for her: an extra hour at Disneyland!

I have to admit, the two-tone MacRumors got me. I almost shed a tear for my iPhone!
