It’s over guys! We can tune down our paranoia on pranks now, but while the excitement and humor hasn’t completely subsided yet, take a look at the jokes & pranks on the internet that caught our attention the most.
To be honest, we were very cautious with the news popping around the internet because in some corners that we go to, we can’t help but stumble into April Fools Day pranks; some were extremely obvious, some were really convincing and some were totally eye-catching.
Asus ZenHome Appliances
We saw this one on Asus Philippines’ Facebook Page and it boasted the ZenRidge, the ZenWasher, the ZenWave & the ZenDish – which is expected to have Asus’ signature metallic spun finish and some neat features. It also commented that they might need a quad-compressor so we don’t have to wait for our food to get cold - which makes it a little more clever.
The Google Pranks
The search giant felt a little too prankster today as they released more than one prank today – and they’re all professionally made. There’s Gmail Blue, which is a massive leap for Gmail as a whole. Then there’s Google Nose, which we’ve covered already, a new service that allows you to smell some things off the internet. Another one involves YouTube; they stated that the site was a scheme all along to find the best video ever, and that they will go offline until 2023 – only then will they announce the winner. You can go watch the video here. There are many more from Google, ranging from Analytics to Maps. You might want to explore that.
Instagram for Windows Phone
“Your #2InstawithLove prayer has been aswered!” Instagram was released by Microsoft for Windows Phone… not. It was quite a cruel joke for those who were getting their hopes up for the much-longed for app. The screenshots seemed real from the bottom up and you can’t really install it as it is written down below the description – “Happy April 1st, 2013!”.
Sony Animalia
Sony claims that we leave out one member of the family often – the pet, which is why Sony is introducing a new line of products called Animalia, which aims to give your pets a brand new living experience. You can watch the video here.
There are quite more than the ones stated above; for example, Twttr. The microblogging site stated in their blog that from now on, users can no longer use vowels on their tweets. Nokia, on the other hand, announced their new touchscreen microwave – the Nokia 5AM-TH1N6 Constellation.
What about you? What were the pranks that caught your attention today, or perhaps what were the ones that you found creative? Happy April Fools Day everyone!
