Redmond, WA - In a move that surprised industry analysts, today Microsoft declared that it was acquiring Cemetech for $20 billion. This announcement comes mere days after the first indications that Microsoft was interested in Cemetech. "We feel this company shows a great deal of potential and has incredible amounts of talent in a variety of technological fields," said Bill Gates, the Chief Software Engineer of Microsoft. At a meeting at Cemetech's headquarters in Cemetech City, the two agreed to the terms of the deal and mutually agreed they looked forward to working together. "This is a momentuous occasion and I am happy to be a part of it," said Kerm Martian, the President and Founder of Cemetech. (AP)

This is a JOKE people. Don't start suing me. :P

Looks like somebody thought they could monopolize the calculator industry as well, with the purchase of their counter part operating system...Doors 😄 So I guess the next version of Doors will be out soon, seeing as how there will no longer be any debugging 😄 Good fake news 😁

FINALLY! now Kerm can buy a speedy new webhost 🙄 😄

Does this mean I get a payraise, and that Kerm can hire someone to fix the online users bug?

it says i'm online twice 😕

Yup, we've learned how to clone people too. 🙂

That's because every member has become twice as valuable, according to our stock. 👍

lol, you've done a "split", hahaha

lol, good one Kerm! Must say though, the pic is a lil off... 😛 😄

Is that by any chance a picture of Cheney and Bush that's been edited?

well, good knowing you, but being a M$ hater, and Linux lover, I must resign all posts here due to me not wanting to affiliate with them.

Please note, I am joking, I hope this was apparent also

@Chipmaster: nope, random "handshake" pic from google images
@Rivereye ☹️
@TI-Freak: I know, I only spent like 20 mins on it

I hope you read the subtext

Apparently you didn't read the gray text under the pic then. Hint: ctrl-a 🙂

actually I did, I was just going along. Making sure you picked up on it

K, no, I actually didn't until you mentioned it. 🙂
I need to think up a good April Fools' joke. Hmmm...preferably something halfway believeable...

I thought it was clear 🙂

What do you mean? of course Cemetech was purchased by Micro$soft! 😯 😁

real smooth Kerm 😛

hmm... fake news... yummy... *thinks* nope!

Thanks Alex. I was gonna post this as frontpage news but decided I need to work on something more elaborate for that.
