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.
 
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."

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.

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.
 
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!

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