April Fools Day

I considered a post about how Apple had finally won me over with their sexy interfaces and easy-to-access menu location, but I couldn't really make myself write a whole entry about it, even this sentence makes me feel a little ill. People have sent me lots of amusing April Fools Day things though. There's a ridiculously large list on Wikipedia if you want to look at more of them, these are just some I've seen.

• Google's Virgle, the first permanent colony on Mars


• Youtube's featured videos (they all go here)


• Kernel.org's switch to FreeBSD


• XBox's new gear


• WoW's Bard class


• LiveJournal's new advisory board member


• Kongregate's Kongai Launch


• Pirate Bay's move to the desert


• The Daily WTF's logo


• Woot's woot-off, which is the same item over and over


• YTMND's shutdown


• Art Lebedev's Defendius door chain. And people say Russians have no sense of humor


• ThinkGeek's Shrinter


• Opera's 106 Acid 3 score


• PCWorld's Save DOS campaign

What confuses me is the alarming number of rick rolls. It confuses me how 4chan has the power to cause these things, but it happens all the time.
