The only question left to ask is whether they will use bitmapped (.WIF) or compressed (NosePeg) files.

What I like about this April fools gag is that someone actually built a (admittedly unviable) business around digital scent technology about 13 years ago. It also happened to have the worst name for a product I have ever, ever seen. iSmell.

And so begins the worst day on the internet.

Day? The entire week is shot to hell from everyone talking about the lame crap, created by boring marketing departments, at boring companies, that absolutely have to do something "funny".

I think the only good thing to come out of this week is that because I'll insulate myself off from the wider internet so much, I'll actually get a lot done.

Wow that was lame, they've had so much better april fools jokes in past years.

Really? I can't remember an April Fool's Day joke from Google that I found even remotely funny.

I liked the double mouse in Chrome joke that they made.
