April Fools, Lynn Cheney

April Fools, Lynn Cheney 03/13/2003 10:25 AM
At the 20x2 event, Neal Pollack used his 2 minutes to kick off a campaign to get every weblogger to make fun of Lynn Cheney on April 1 in response to the White House's heavy-handed attempt to censor a parody of her at WhiteHouse.org. Fine idea, although we've gotten to the point where blatant attempts at censorship by the White House now are way down on my list of Things to Worry About. Sigh....

Not An April Fool’s Joke

Not An April Fool’s Joke 04/01/2005 05:24 PM
Just foolishness. The XML Binary Characterization Working Group has issued their f inal report which recommends (surprise, surprise) that the W3C produce a “Binary XML” specification. Elliotte Rusty Harold nails it. I don’t care if anyone wants to go off and produce their own data interchange format, binary or not, open or not, standardized or not, mapped to XML or not; as long as they don’t call it XML. “Binary XML” is an oxymoron. And I should point out that the people at Sun who are building a binary data format with a mapping to XML are calling it something else entirely. These Binary-XML people are charging headlong onto the top of a very long, very steep, very slippery slope. [Update: Further joy. I see that this poorly-labelled table asserts that XML prevents both “processing efficiency” and “forward compatibility”. Glad to hear it.]

Google Gulps Down April Fools, Wikipedia
Bought? 04/01/2005 03:52 AM
Unlike the GMail storage increase, Google Gulp is one of the first big April Fools jokes floating around the internet this year:

"At Google our mission is to organize the world's information and make it useful and accessible to our users. But any piece of information's usefulness derives, to a depressing degree, from the cognitive ability of the user who's using it. That's why we're pleased to announce Google Gulp (BETA)™ with Auto-Drink™ (LIMITED RELEASE), a line of "smart drinks" designed to maximize your surfing efficiency by making you more intelligent, and less thirsty."

Looks as though Wikipedia has been bought by Encyclopedia Britannica...

"On April 1, 2005, Encyclopćdia Britannica - The Free Encyclopćdia announced its immediate semi-hostile takeover of the Wikimedia Foundation and all of its projects (now to be called Britannican reference subdivisions), including Wikipedia (now called Wikipćdia)"

FastMac is cutting prices on all items for its 3-Day April Fools “No Fooling” Sale from Friday, April 1st to Sunday, April 3rd. The sale includes FastMac’s G4 processor upgrades for G3 and G4 PowerMacs and 16X Dual-Layer SuperDrives, both starting at $99.95. “We’re excited to be the first to offer a G4 upgrade for under $100” says Michael Lowdermilk, Business Development Manager for FastMac Performance Upgrades. “This sale is our way of giving those who’ve put off upgrading one less excuse.” For $99.95, Lowdermilk says the FastMac ZIF processor upgrade replaces the original CPU in a Beige or Blue & White PowerMac G3 with a G4 CPU operating at up to 500 MHz. It also doubles the backside cache from 512k to 1 full MB, resulting in a 3 to 4 times boost in speed & performance. Optical drives start at $99.95 for a 16X Dual-Layer SuperDrive upgrade for PowerMacs. Other drives are available for multiple models including: PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs, Cubes, and Mac minis. Lowdermilk says all FastMac processor upgrades are 100% compatible with OS 9 and X and take full advantage of the G4 AltiVec Velocity Engine. AGP processor upgrades carry a three year warranty and ZIF and optical drive upgrades carry a one year warranty. All products come with a 30 day money back guarantee, he says.

Study Details Problems With Next
Generation April Fools Gags 04/01/2005 05:04 PM
There are what appears to be an even higher than normal set of ridiculous April Fool's gags out there today. While we do our best to avoid them (while chuckling here or there), the folks over at MobilePipeline deserve extra credit for not just coming up with an original April Fool's gag, but mocking the whole concept... all in one! Yes, it's a study on the steep growth curve associated with next generation April Fool's gags, predicting an ongoing "increase at a compounded annual rate of 22 percent through 2009." However, at the same time, they're noting that, with this rapid growth there has been a marked decline in quality -- which the industry needs to watch out for: "Vendors must embrace the fact that market penetration occurs not because of the quantity of the gags but because of the quality." Meanwhile, as all of these analysts like to do, they try to dig deeper into the meaning behind such a trend: "The dramatic increase in April Fools gags indicates a vibrant technology sector that, perhaps, has too much time on its hands." Indeed.
