#253MSDOS 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…

#254Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.

#255https://com.google - Google showing off their new gTLD in a silly manner.

#256April 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

Water isn't allowed on board planes? I usually bring an empty nalgene through security and then fill it in one of the many water fountains in the terminals. Works well!

#258I may be accused of being a curmudgeon, but most of these aren't funny anymore. Companies are rarely funny, not sure why they keep doing this. /rant
