I wonder how many people fell for the Google April fools joke!
I still remember last year when people where amazed that you could now send e-mails and put any date on it. Making it look like you sent the e-mail a few weeks earlier than you did for example.
I bet they have a lot of fun the people that work at Google!

In the tech industry, it would be my dream employer. However, I'm looking in the film industry. Thankfully Google is harder to get into.

My wife just called. UPS has apparently dropped the usurped King of Nigeria, as well as 25 million dollars on my doorstep. Thanks, Conficker Virus!

It's been established that the Conficker worm is an elaborate April Fools prank by Microsoft. See

It's a real virus, for sure. It's just a matter of what's going to happen with it. I know it's like crying wolf, so folks don't take it seriously, but one day it may come back to bite us in the rear.

It's a real virus no doubt, but I think the effects are vastly overstated. To individuals infected, I think yes, it is something that's a concern but I don't think it's as massive as people think. And honestly if I was infected, it'd be rather pointless for a hacker to do so. Just in the sense that you're not going to get anything of worth from me.

Well, perhaps it's started, sort of. I never get more than two junk emails a day in my Yahoo Inbox, and I just had ten show up. That was on of the possibilities of this stupid thing, the dreaded. . .Spam! But I like Spam. Shut Up! Bloody Vikings!
