So far, YouTube is the biggest joke I've seen. Went to watch a video this morning and everything was upside down.

Do you think Pizza Hut uses Ingenuity Ltd's PizzaPrint to create their new offering?

I pranked my roommate with the blue screen of death screen saver. It was set to activate after 5 minutes of inactivity. He actually restarted his computer 4 times this morning when it happened.

Icon thing is sort of lame. Last years was better.

 

[Drag'nGT]

Anyone see the Big Bunny Bundle on the front page? It's got MacRumors on it so I call bs on that "we don't participate in april fools jokes."

 

[Radiomarko]

?

I think my Safari is snappier with the green smilies there.

The iMc goes on sale today starting at $19.99 with add-ons (cutlery, napkins, pickles, mayo) available at an additional cost.

Do they have an option for Pickles 800, or can you only get Pickles 400?

 

[epyfa]

Wow, you even get a smiley next to all the icons in this thread.

The snappier Safari is an april fools joke?

 

[AmbitiousLemon]

The snappier Safari is an april fools joke?

That joke is bad every day of the year actually.

[Stratoukos]

When I try to buy the Big Bunny Bundle it justs redirects me to a random post

I would almost say painful.

Almost? I'll say it. Painful.

You can call whatever you want on something that was not said.

MacRumors does not participate in April Fools' Day prank news stories. All stories posted today are real.

In fact quite the opposite was said:

ya, we've never posted an april fools news story. For the reason that rumor sites always struggle with credibility, and posting intentionally fake stories really makes that worse.

We do have non-editorial april fools jokes around, but they are usually more subtle.

arn

To clarify:

• We never purposely pose stories that we know to be false, on April 1 or any other day.
• We do not make up news stories or rumors, on April 1 or any other day.
• In reporting the news on April 1, we work even harder than usual to avoid posting stories that are real-looking but are in fact pranks.
• We enjoy jokes around the Internet on April 1 as much as anyone, and members are welcome to discuss them and point them out in this thread.
• We've been known to add surprises to our own site, as long as they don't prevent people from getting the real news and rumors.

Best one so far...

This website always provides good April 1st joke products!

April Fool email from IWOOT!

I got this email from IWOOT which claims theres a iclamp which you add to your ipod touch and it turns into a phone with a 5 megapixel camera!
It also claims they have these contact lense that use nanotechnology and can change colour by a remote control!
Theres also these sunglasses that are powered by bluetooth and connect to your phone to let you see the screen in your glasses!

I call an April fools joke lol but it was pretty good!

You can view the email here: http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/stor...paign=1ap09&utm_source=1ap09&utm_medium=email

Even reading the newspaper today couldn't believe most of the news because it sounded like an April fools jooke!

Too bad that is a joke, something like that would be awesome to have on the counter. Sit at the counter and drink my morning coffee and eat a piece of toast while watching some BBC

Happy Aprils Fools' Day MR Gang!

Happy 33rd Apple!

april fools

I know some people who get upset or thinks it's old that people still do April fools jokes. But I think they're great. To me it keeps creativity flowing and sometimes people just need to lighten up a bit a take a joke every once in a while!

Happy B-day Apple!
