kilo: Great links except for the MIT one. That was just kind of stupid.

I particularly liked:

defaults write com.apple.finder LoadedFolders Springy

over the whole Microsoft thing.

Last year, ResEx said that they were selling the site - bidding started at about $1,000,000. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong)

Ah, that's funny.

This isn't particularly related to April Fool's day, but I thought it was funny nonetheless:

Be sure to look at the poll choices too, below the cartoon.

My fav was "Stealing music is inevitable."

When I was working in an Apple Centre in Sydney, Australia last year, Apple released an advert in the main paper (Morning Sydney Herald) of the "New Beige iMac"!!!

You would not believe how many calls we got asking for one!

Their other ads using iMacs side view to create a Sydney Opera house lookalike was also brilliant.

On that note, does anyone know where to get that information or pictures of Apples past ads?

I think last years resex joke was that they were running from the government and out on this oil rig running the server on a laptop. It was really good
