On April 1 this year, a father’s prank on his children - in which he handed his children an iPad box that turned out to be just that, an iPad box - made the rounds on the Internet, too, according to Mashable. Pranking is something families often do to each other. But of course those were just a few of the pranks, many more of which can be found here. Another company unveiled its new lunar smart watch, literally made from pieces of the moon. H&M revealed a Mark Zuckerberg line of fashion of just T-shirts and jeans, the trademark Zuckerberg outfit. The company introduced Google Cardboard Plastic, which allows users to “experience actual reality” - a play on Google Glass and all virtual reality technology.īut Google wasn’t the only prankster making the rounds on April 1 morning. Google did rebound with a funnier prank, though. Google later apologized for the prank, saying it meant no harm on this pseudo-holiday.
One employee said he didn’t receive any of his boss’ reply emails after using it, which eventually led him to being fired from his job. The problem, though, was that the function was all too easy for users to find, and it had some disastrous consequences, according to The Guardian. The function then disallowed the recipient from responding to any further emails.

The company announced a new "Mic Drop" function, which allowed people to send someone a reply email that included a GIF of a Minion from the Despicable Me series dropping a microphone. Only this year, the prank didn’t go over so well, The Guardian reported. Even Google pranks the everyday American. This prank was a fantastic distraction to blow off steam.You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who wasn’t affected by April Fools' Day pranks. This was the year launched, in the 5-mo race before the first #HourOfCode, perhaps the busiest and highest-impact time of my life. I told him I loved him and he was a great sport. Matt finally realized it was a prank and groaned a loud, long groan. After he apologized to my morbid satisfaction, I finally asked "it never crossed your mind one of your friends is pranking you?" He said it was terrible and apologized profusely for getting me stuck with this awful service. He said he'd been screwed by it too, and that it was some spammy thing, probably his phone address book was compromised, and he blamed it on his Blackberry.
I was "getting spammed," and the service said that Matt's phone had referred me. Then, I called Matt from my own phone number, and I told him that I (Hadi) had been signed up for Cat Facts. I placed him on hold for a while again, and hung up. He added that he earned $600/hr and had spent 2hrs trying to cancel our fraudulent service, and that he was a lawyer and would report us to the FBI. He retorted that it was a trick that our system played on him. He claimed he never signed up for us, and I said that actually our system records show that he pressed 1 to sign up. I again said he doesn't have a credit card on file, and that we would need to charge his phone bill. After this, Matt called again, clearly upset, but still exceedingly polite.
