#282https://com.google - Google showing off their new gTLD in a silly manner.
One thing I noticed is that the search doesn't modify the URL as it does on google.com. Wondering why?

#283MSDOS is the new mobile OS from Microsoft Announcement: http://lumiaconversations.microsoft.com/2015/04/01/microsoft... Product page: http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/ms-dos/ Edit: Even an app http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/ms-dos-mobile/85... Wow, the app is really well done. SPOILERS: Can cd into a programs folder, and launch programs like sms.exe, where I get a blue DOS-style window asking for input…
The interface is a significant improvement compared to Windows 8.
So would be Microsoft Bob!

How is "squatting" .dev meaningfully different from having .dev.com? People here give way too much importance to TLDs.
I know a lot of folks using .dev for locally running "development" instances of websites/apps. Maybe .local is now a better choice.
I used to use .foo, Google acquired that one last year:

I always thought "do a barrel roll" was kind of stupid, but it's cool that it still works on com.google.
Zerg Rush is broken though; Zerglings attack the air, dealing damage to DOM elements on the other side of the screen.

#287Systemd is forking the Linux kernel: http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20150330#community
This was simply a case of someone getting the systemdaemon name on github. It's not the systemd project.
The article is a fairly amusing April Fool's joke. Real quote from LP (on his blog from months ago) mixed in with quotes from a fictional developer. Googling the fictional developer's family name comes up with mysteriously few results...

#289The Play Framework folks will be offering the "Certified Reactive Application Programmer" - in short: CRAP certification https://twitter.com/playframework/status/583131097396989952

I just love the checkbox for "Yes! I want my organization to be full of CRAP™ developers!"

It would have been pretty impressive if they created a whole gTLD just for an April Fools joke.
indeed because "The evaluation fee is US$185,000." http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/customer-service/faq...
I wouldn't be so sure they wouldn't do that, after all:

"At the auction for Nortel Networks' wireless patents this week, Google's bids were mystifying, such as $1,902,160,540 and $2,614,972,128.
Math whizzes might recognize these numbers as Brun's constant and Meissel-Mertens constant, but it puzzled many of the people involved in the auction, according to three people with direct knowledge of the situation on Friday.
...
'It became clear that they were bidding with the distance between the earth and the sun. One was the sum of a famous mathematical constant, and then when it got to $3 billion, they bid pi,' the source said, adding the bid was $3.14159 billion.
'Either they were supremely confident or they were bored.'"
