When I saw that Google was introducing free wireless in-house broadband here, I was about to order it for my parents who are still not on broadband. Only when I saw pictures of wires going into toilet did I realize that it was Google's April Fool's joke. I had been had.

I tried looking through all the pages to find that disclaimer that says that this is not real. But apparantly Google did not put any. I think they should. After all, not all countries are familiar with United States April 1st pranks.

Well considering most western countries "celebrate" April Fool's Day", I think it's fine. Let's not forget, Google has a domain in pretty much every country and I check some and only saw the joke on the .com and .co.uk one.
If I remember correctly though, all jokes are to be before noon on April Fool's in the UK.

And let's not forget, the joke that is Apple Computers. I'm still waiting for them to shout out April Fool's.
