Yes, I fell for it again this year…for just a minute. Remember last year, when Google tried to sell us Gmail Paper? Complete with beta user testimonials?
Well, they’ve done it again. No, you can’t really pre-date your e-mail to pretend you remembered your boss’s birthday. This is, as the good-humored folks at Google said, “crazy-talk.”

Did you see Google’s free home wireless offer? http://www.google.com/tisp
Actually, all of those are old. This year’s Google April fools joke is http://www.google.com/virgle/index.html . You can to it directly from the Goolge home page by clicking the Cool world link below the main search field. For today anyway.
Those are funny, Ron. Methinks some of the Google employees have too much free time on their hands! lol
Yeah, I said precisely that earlier today. Can you imagine getting paid big bucks to think that stuff up? What a life!
