April fools I wanted the most: - NSA announcing they were dropping all illegal activities, - Water allowed on board of planes, - ISIS converting to Christianity, - Apple patenting the patent, - Snapchat releasing a payment system Note that April Fools is on December 28th in Spannish culture. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day#Comparable...

Snapchat payment system doesn't look like a good idea, unless you want the payment to disappear after a certain time

MSDOS 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…

I'd love to have something like that if it ran bash or even Powershell.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The TLD system is arguably broken, because it never turned out as hierarchical as it was supposed to. All the new TLDs do is force people to shell out more money to squat on pointless domains to avoid them being used for fraud (or, worse, by the competition).

Or it makes them finally realize how silly the "we must have them all" is.

Who are you to call millions of pokemon fans silly?
