April Fools Day

Yesterday, tricksters let loose their creative minds to performs some of the wildest and most innovative tricks on unsuspecting victims (well some are paranoid but still get tricked). In this modern age, people have brought April Fools Day to what else but the world wide web.

For example, on one anime streaming site I visit frequently, what they did was they hid a flash music player on their page and played some annoying music while you're on the page. The trick is you have to find how to turn it off or just settle to muting your PC. The result you cannot watch anime if you cannot turn it off.

Google, on the other hand, victimized people by introducing an AI(Artificial Intelligence) named CADIE and an "autopilot" tool for its gmail. There's also the Google Brain Search Tool that supposedly uses CADIE to scan and index the user's brain. CREEPY and FUNNY.

And finally, who can forget Youtube. This year, their prank is that when you view the video everything would be upside down. Even text for comments and titles are upside down. Smart people those Youtube web designers. To emulate the April fools joke, just add &flip=1 to the end of the URL you are trying to view. They even put up a page on how to view these flipped videos.

These ideas are how I like April Fool tricks to be. Simple but funny.
