And so begins the worst day on the internet.

You're boring.

Look, once upon a time you would see a few april fool's jokes, and they'd be funny, and you'd laugh, and good times were had.

These days, every single company absolutely has to send out a "press release" or "product announcement" or "feature enhancement" or other crap, and all of them have been designed by boring marketing departments at boring companies, and vetted to be as non-offensive and boring as possible, and still, people discuss them and send the links around.

Moderation. It's a virtue.

out of all the things Google have done this year, I would think a competition for which the prize is to give them $1500 would be much more appropriate for April fools... oh wait

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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISmell

Anyone remember Leisure Suit Larry 7 with the Rub'n'Sniff cards or whatever they were called? I wonder if mine (in the original box) still smells...

Ok. This is poorly made this time :( ... Last year (or a year before that) the double mouse thing was still a bit believable. Anyone with a little knowledge of computer devices would come to know this is a joke.

That gmail webcam gesture control was nice too.
