Today, as you all (at least if you’re in the U.S.) know that today is April Fool’s Day. In addition to your typical pranks and jokes, there were also some major things happening today in the tech world. Here they are:
For April Fool’s Day, Google pulled a clever little prank by launching a new "service" called Google Romance. Romance, which is being advertised on the Google homepage, is supposed to be Google’s attempt at a dating service. The joke is pretty clever, and is quite funny. It’s a good April Fool’s Day laugh.
Google, in addition to their prank, has some other news on April Fool’s Day. GMail, Google’s very popular e-mail service (which I happen to use) turns 2 today. Besides the GMail logo on your GMail account homepage being decorated with confetti and a candle, Google hasn’t really done anything special with GMail for it’s 2nd B-Day, unlike it’s 1st birthday in which GMail users got 2GB of storage space and additional space being added every second, even to this day. But GMail’s birthday is not even close to today’s next birthday.
The biggest April Fool’s Day birthday is for…APPLE COMPUTER!!!!!!! Yes, thirty years ago today, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak incorporated Apple Computer. This is a HUGE day for Apple, and they’re doing absolutely nothing. That’s right, no new product, no announcement, not even the slightest acknowledgment of this big day in their history. What a bummer. But still, it’s a warm outside (at least in NYC) so you can still go out and throw a graet, big Apple 30th Birthday Party, that is, if you want to.
