So, what has everyone found out there on the internet for the annual April Fools Day festivities? So far I've noticed the following:

:: Comic Sans Pro: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110331006826/en/Comic-Sans-Pro-Typeface-Family-Debut

Oh, and of course the Omnimaga TI-OS 2.71 joke. Smile I forgot to mention that one.

Are you sure it's a joke? TI replied to an e-mail that the OS was released too early...

No they didn't; someone faked a letter. Rolling Eyes TI-Cares always takes at least 48 hours to respond to emails.

Are you sure that the email is real? I don't think TI replies this quickly...

Speaking of ThinkGeek, everything is at http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/looflirpa/ which obviously has "aprilfool" typed in reverse. Smile
Very nice catch, technomonkey. It looks like the free shirt with $15 purchase might even be legit!

The OS exists and can be installed on a calc. It seems to be a hacked version of 2.53MP, but I'm not sure.

Starcraft motion looks awesome. Very Happy I love how the Korean guy is performing about a billion APM with gestures instead of the usual ridiculous APM I see in videos using keyboards.
