MacRumors has not participated in April Fools' Day prank news stories in the past, and have no plans to breakout from that tradition this year. All news stories posted on our site today are real.

You'd think every day was April 1 here with all the stuff MacRumors puts up as articles.

The iWatch one is Unwatchable, not funny and what is it with those dudes? They sound like they about to jump off a cliff. Cheer up fer fecks sake it's an April fool. A really bad one at that.

The Ign one is very well done and funny though.

Apple would makes some big bucks developing a ATV console like was shown. As I have always said, put iOS and 64GB memory in an ATV and apple would put a serious dent in online gaming. Wouldn't cost much more. Apple seems to have a big problem these days. Procrastination! A new mac pro should have been out by now with USB3, etc.. Seems like apple is doing more damage control than innovating.

Apple Fools day

With today's stock price drop coupled with the drop from the peak and the negativity coming from the Wall Street/China PR machine, it felt more like an Apple Fools day to me.

RunKeeper for iPad

I remember when people laughed at the idea of holding your iPad up to take photos, but as ridiculous as the app sounds, I have personally witnessed people using their iPad's at the gym. :confused::confused:

I liked the iWatch one the best. They had a few good zingers in there and made me laugh the most. Granted, the acting was horrible, and you could even see the reflection of the tele-prompt screen on the guy's glasses, but still funniest in my humble opinion. :D

that would be awesome if apple held an "emergency conference" where they released the "iphone 6" with holographic displays and keyboards, like all that stuff you see on youtube, and everyone was all excited then at the end tim cook just came on and said "yeah sorry we're just kidding, go home!"

Runkeeper

The only thing about Runkeeper for iPad is the fact that you would have to own an iPad with 3G or be around a wifi connection at all times for the map system to work, but I guess if you were only counting your steps then it wouldn't really matter. Still a good idea though.

In the process, we've discovered that for many of our users, the phone screen is just too small to get all that important real-time fitness information into one convenient place.

Dangit. I want RunKeeper for my old 20" iMac.
How hard could it be to port it from iOS to OS X???

(critical mode)

By mentioning "April Fools' Day prank news stories", didn't you just participate in it?

and by posting about FAKE product didn't that just contradict "All news stories posted on our site today are real." since such stories are typically fake?

So, MR did April fools joke?
