Now with Gmail Paper, you can request a physical copy of any message with the click of a button, and it'll be sent to you in the mail. Photo attachments are printed on high-quality, glossy photo paper, and secured to your Gmail Paper with a paper clip. And it's totally free: the cost of postage is offset with the help of relevant, targeted, unobtrusive advertisements printed on the back of every print."

Fuck April Fools'

[AstrumPreliator]

I don't mind the pranks and jokes on April 1st, I really don't. What I do mind is the fact that almost nobody does it well. I've seen some good pranks over the years but most sites - including slashshot - just post outrageous things that aren't worthy of being "pranks". Seriously, if you're going to post a bunch of garbage then just shut down the web servers for 24 hours during April 1st and save yourself some bandwidth.

Of course if you do post good pranks then you piss people off for not reporting identifiable jokes on a news site. You know what, just report real news all year, then people won't have to deal with horrible April Fools' jokes on April 1st (and 2nd, 3rd, and 4th here on Slashdot).

And In Other News

And in other news readers notice that (once again) every Slashdot posting on 4/1 is an April Fool's joke. Since April Fool's jokes arn't funny when you see them coming, no one is fooled. Commander Taco continues to laugh.
