I missed this April Fools' Joke, but that's probably because I don't live in Japan. Sega's prank was the fake release of what that they called "Game Gear Goju." It's a pretty straightforward attack on the Nintendo DS. Sega's new GGG handheld has 50 screens instead of a measly 2 screens.

Are all the search engines this lame? Ask Jeeves' April Fools' Day joke is about as good as Google's. Introducing the Jeeves 9000.

"At Google our mission is to organize the world's information and make it
useful and accessible to our users. But any piece of information's usefulness
derives, to a depressing degree, from the cognitive ability of the user who's

Auto-Drink™ (LIMITED RELEASE), a line of "smart drinks" designed

This is the kind of LAME April Fools' day joke we'd expect from a publicly traded company. Can't say anything outrageous or semi-believable because the stock price might tank.
