Hey! Nice collection of pranks that were pulled.
I saw another one by Google this April fools called “Google Motion”. They claimed that you could use your webcam and use (retarded) hand motions to control searches, gmail inbox, etc…
It was pretty hilarious. There was also that Gflush (toilet Wifi) thing not too long ago. Funny, Google. Real funny.
Best regards.
