Best of April Fool's Day online
Well, we admit we were snookered by the iPhone Dev Team's "we're selling out" alert, and so was our sister site -- but on a day when the hoaxes range from the desperately unfunny to the merely goofy to the silly-but-funny to the triumphantly hysterical, who can keep anything straight? Google's various flavors alone account for more than a dozen fake stories. Here's a couple of Mac-flavored gags that you might have missed:
TidBITS has an entire 4/1-themed front page, with some gems like "US Federal Court Declares Email Bankruptcy Illegal."
The introduction of the "Helvetica Serif" font, which cracks me up.
Download Squad's warning about LSD in Apple products. I'd call shenanigans on this, but I'm very busy shooing away the multicolored bats.
Macenstein's "Top 10 ways to DEcrease productivity on your Mac," which describes at least two or three bad practices I actually do already
The full-monty retro reskinning of MacOSXHints
ThinkGeek's alternative product lineup, including Wii Sports for iPhone
Likewise, AppleTell has a collection of Apple-past stories up front today
Not to leave out the Microsoft Mac BU, this delightful Games for Apple Remote product announcement
Do you love the cognitive dissonance of April 1, or despise the silly, lame jokes that seem to propagate? Either way, you'll have another 364 days to wait for the next one.
