ThinkGeek always has several, and has actually produced one from a previous year (a tantaun sleeping bag) after popular demand.

There's also a series of tweets from the people behind EA's multiplatform engine, Frostbite, just taunting the Wii U.

It's sad sometimes when really cool April fools jokes don't come thru. That nerf ball would be fun. :)

George Takei may or may not be hosting SNL soon. Not sure if that one is a joke or not though.

Just got a deals email that includes a burial plot on the moon and a Zoo Closeout with several animals for sale.

Also someone has posted a graphic for a Friends 10-year reunion, but I feel like that just gets rumored every year at random times anyway.

Today Sirius/XM launched Air Guitar Radio, after the success of last year's Mime Radio.

Somebody taped these to all of our copier/printers. I knew they looked too convincing for anyone in our office to have made them.

That's the title of one of my Pandora stations. :D Satriani, Vai, Gary Hoey, etc. *weedlyweedlyweedly*

That HP one is great. I wish I'd thought of it. Telling people technology is voice-enabled is always good for a laugh. A while back a friend needed to borrow my cell phone and asked how to turn the screen on. I told her to just say "Phone on" and it would wake up. She went outside and tried for several minutes before coming back in to the bar to yell at me. VICTORY.

You can actually set Samsung (all android?) phones to come on at a specific voice command. I would think it eats up the battery always listening.

This one fooled me for about 30 seconds, because "OMG HOLY FUCK IS IT TRUE?!"

Then I realized "how the fuck is Gina going to make 135 lbs? She'd be a stick figure." :rolleyes:

One of the radio stations here played a tape (or something) of one of their competitors after an ad break to make listeners think they'd tuned in to the wrong station. Don't really know the details.

Looks like Google's auto-Hoff prank was more than just a funny post

That reminds me of Drew's voice activated big screen TV. Circa 1999.

Drew, as in fud yeah? His turn of phrase is enough to make a prostitute blush.

Going by what he used to shout at the screen during those heated Xbox Live sessions, it's probably unfortunate that his TV wasn't also an automated sex robot.
