OMG WIRELESS EXTENSION CORDS!!! LOL!!!

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-thats-what-i'm-talking-about dept.

True ChAoS writes "Using the latest in microwave energy transmission technology, the Wireless Extension Cords (WECs) 'beam' power right where you need it. Broadcasting in the 7.2GHz range, the WECs will not interfere with wireless networks, phones, or Bluetooth components. Be sure to heed all the warnings in the instruction manual; the microwaves used are relatively safe, but you don't want to cook your computer (or coworkers) by mistake."

  5. Sucks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I remember back in the day when April Fools news stories were discreet and you had to spend a couple of seconds/minutes looking at them to see whether they were fake or not.

    Bring back the old days!

    Not to say April Fools day sucks, because everyone thinks they're a comedian.

  6. Missing the point by AC-x · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is it just me, or has slashdot completely missed the point? Didn't April fools used to be about SUBTLEY making up BELIEVEABLE stories to try and trick people?

    This pink color scheme isn't even funny and adding "aprilfools" to the articles is just defeating the point.

    April fools used to be about clever wit, not just being as stupid as possible.

    At least think geek have the vaguely right idea, tho have perhaps got a bit overexcited and again missed the subtlety part.

  7. tags by Turn-X+Alphonse · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Could we fix the tags please. I love the April fools stories, but the tags sort of ruin it. I know they are made so we can search but why not use an anagram instead? Something like "Parol's foil", maybe even do a story on how awesome Parol's latest foil is for tin foil hats.

    Tomorrow you can switch all the tags for April fools, but today we should make them so blindly obvious we don't need them pointing out to us.

    Hopefully the editors will read this and sort it out.
