It's that time of year again: April 1st. Hope everyone enjoyed the fun. 😁

So what did you think?

...and what other sites have you guys seen doing something special for today?

No ****! Seriously could not believe that 👿 Got douped by a fellow employee giving me a call to check out the latest news on here, and was just imagining the **** hitting the fan from this. God damn I hate april fools day, or atleast when its direct at me. Kudos 😈

Thank you for the suggestion, our attorneys will be going over the agreement and when we find a loophole we will go after RIM.

Wow what a great idea, thank you for making our day, hell our future, and we invested sooooo little.

Neat! I just checked Google Earth, and sure enough. 🙂

Hey - they just updated the Vegas Strip area images, too. That was long overdue. The old images they had were from before the even broke ground on the Wynn. The new ones are completely up to date, as far as I can tell. Just in time for CTIA - neat! 🙂

I love the "wireless electricity" 7.2ghz setup. The funny thing is, I'm sure people have bought tons of them. 🤣 🤣 🤣

You guys always have the best gadget-related hijinks. I was reading the RIM vs. NTP one, COMPLETELY seeing how they could have done that. Hahahaha!

So it's been dead and I go to Phonescoop to check out what's going on, completely oblivious to the fact that it's April freakin Fool's Day. Then I read that NTP is backing out of the settlement and wants $1 billion. I'm thinking, "Whoa! WTF!"

The others are good, but using the RIM case is priceless.
Happy April Fool's Day everyone!

I was reading the news like wow, there is a lot more interesting things going on today than usual. Geeze these guys have been busy! and then I get to the bottom and it says 'real news' and I'm like what? thats not what it usually says. Not until I see this thread did I realize it's all off your little head.

Good work!

Fark.com is doing a whole slew of things from the site being hacked to linking to admin pages, to linking you to "frog pr0n". It's hysterical. Also, if you post a comment, the filter may change your post to "l33t sp33k", "swedish chef", "elmer fudd" and many more.

So I, read all the news, was wondering why there was so much new news. And then I read the post about Orange coming to America! That would have been AMAZING! I was very disappointed. Orange is like the coolest company ever.

I was so excited that I forgot it was a joke by the end of the paragraph... I obviously came back to reality upon clicking through to the full story. Oh well... maybe some day...
