EiriktheScald Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Check it out! Paper email (BTW, it was an April Fool's Day joke) I wonder how many actually fell for it? Link to comment
Kulyok Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Recently I've seen a very sweet picture: two young boys in the army form, starved, thin and rather haggard-looking, came to the post office and asked to be shown the internet stalls - one of them wanted to check a letter from his girlfriend. He didn't seem to want to leave - he looked as if he wanted to rip off the monitor and take it with him. I think they'd buy this service if it existed - for some odd reason, a large percentage of internet zones doesn't have printers here. And, of course, I never had a printer until I got access to the corporate machine, so, I dare say, I'd pay for such a delivery, too. Gmail could do with an extra fortune. Link to comment
CamDawg Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Bah. Pigeon Rank has been, IMO, Google's most entertaining April Fool's prank. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I agree. The latest spoof was even to subtle for me. I first thought google was going retro. Page and Brin experimented with numerous avian motivators before settling on a combination of linseed and flax (lin/ax) that not only offered superior performance, but could be gathered at no cost from nearby open space preserves. This open space lin/ax powers Google's operations to this day, and a visit to the data coop reveals pigeons happily pecking away at lin/ax kernels and seeds. The data coop? Okay, I will never look at office cubicles the same way again! Link to comment
cmorgan Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I was trying to figure out how they could include Red Hat... Link to comment
