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, Encyclopædia Britannica - The Free Encyclopædia 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 Wikipædia)"

Fooling” sale

FastMac announces April Fools “No
Fooling” sale 04/01/2005 05:15 PM
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.

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.

We had a second get-together of our local CD club a few nights ago. I'll post playlists over the next few days, but for now this post... One of the interesting discussion topics was Loretta Lynn's new album, Van Lear Rose. Imagine a group of twenty- and thirty-something geek hipster wannabes drinking beers and talking about the awesome new album from a 70 year old country music icon. Either we're really cool, or Loretta Lynn is. I know which one my money's on. I hadn't heard about this until the other night ... now it's everywhere. The album's generating buzz...

In sharp contrast to the harmless pranks that will be played on April Fools' Day, deceptive phishing schemes are no laughing matter. To strike a blow against criminals who prey on Internet users, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), National Consumers League and Microsoft Corp. today urged consumers to beware of phishing schemes aimed at stealing their identities.
