as you can see the give the option to make the video over 1080p in TEXT mode claiming it saves them 1$ on bandwidth.

they also made a April fools logo (made out of text)

they also made a stupid looking joke layout.

there I ruined the joke for you.
Haha, I got confused which progress indicator I was supposed to be watching. >_< I also noticed that Google has the pre-2006 or so as the first thing that appears on the homepage, followed by the remainder of the page fading in.

And as pointed out by Nikky on #cemetech on EfNet, Google has introduced a Google Translate for Animals app for Android:

Edit: And ticalc.org has jumped on the bandwagon: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/14/146/146123.html

Edit #2: This is Cemetech's 4000th topic! Woohoo!
Wootcellent topic for #4000.

And this is even better than youtube's earlier prank with the rotated page.

Some guy on SlashRoulette kept singing me a song + playing his guitar about how my camera + microphone weren't on. Guess I'll be steering clear of /. today, to avoid being anyone's lame chat partner.

Go to *any* /. article. Scroll down to the area between TFS and the comments.

And certainly fewer disturbing things for some values of disturbing.

I'm fairly positive those are all prerecorded - especially since it basically says that.

But of course, you are a /. reader so naturally you didn't RTFA Razz

Haha, winsauce. I like how the PDF also insists things about where it was printed and what kind of paper it's on. Razz

Oh, hmmm. That would explain the relatively high repetition (of individuals, not of footage) I saw.

Heck, in this case I didn't even RTFS. I just noticed random video-age. And the guy with the guitar singing about my camera being off.

So various things around the web today. I'm sure most of you have seen UniXKCD, -G-o-o-g-l-e- Topeka, Digg was doing something with Mario on their Diggbar (until some kind of legal cease-and-desist struggle), and there's many more to find across the net.
