Happy April Fool's Day!

Some of the jokes I've seen:

Starcraft 2: The terratron, which is basically a transformer assembled from your base. From the video, it seems like a command center forms the head and bunkers are the foot pads.

Team fortress 2: The Jarate pee jar.

For some of the day, Youtube flipped the video and reversed the text.

Google CADIE, or Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity. It has its own blog that includes a video and

Gmail Autopilot, which would answer emails for you.

Google Chrome in 3D. It suggests you begin by printing out your 3-D glasses then enabling 3-D with a special option in Chrome.

Gizmodo cleansed itself of a "worm" that was messing up the site.

Amazon's cloud computing, or Floating Amazon Cloud Environment (FACE) that would consist of giant helium balloons.

Reddit for a while looked like Digg.

Fark looked like Facebook.

Sqeez Bacon. From the same site, interactive portal shirts.



Pizza Hut creating portrait pizzas.

Warner Brothers is acquiring the Pirate Bay.

Expedia is offering flights to Mars.

Obama ordered all Chevies and Dodges out of NASCAR.

The Guardian announced that it was moving completely to Twitter. The headline: "Twitter switch for Guardian, after 188 years of ink."

Al Gore announced a new line of Vegan food.

A yodeling game for the Xbox.

Yahoo! added an Ideological search where you can search for terms then clarify to search only within Republican or Democratic sources. This one probably isn't an April Fool's Joke, as it works well.
