what's wrong with having gTLD? Seeing lots of this new TLD hate, I want to understand the reasoning.

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.

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…

That's beautiful, and probably an improvement on most smartphone OSes.

It's bad enough having a full-page single-image image map (I'd almost forgotten image maps were a thing), but to use a jpeg is just offensive.

Double bluff in today's New Zealand Herald:

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objecti...

The "April Fools' Day special" promised a new BMW to the first person who took their car and the front-page coupon to the dealership.

Ms Marsh was first at the Newmarket car dealership this morning, arriving in her 15-year-old Nissan Avenir.

She was swiftly rewarded with a new BMW 1 Series worth almost $50,000 in exchange for the old station wagon.
