Pay-Per-Click April Fools Day is upon us, and that means of course that you’ll be fed lies all day long. It’s an interesting day, particularly in the tech, news, and tech news industries, where even companies get in on the fun. Google is no stranger to April Fools tom foolery, and they’ve got a number of silly announcements up today. Talk to ArisYulianta and Friends… what your favorite Google April Fools prank is (past or present). First, the most noticeable one: Google has changed its name to Topeka , in honor of Topeka, Kansas recently announcing it would change its name to Google, to get in on Google’s experimental ultra-high-speed broadband project . “We didn’t reach this decision lightly; after all, we had a fair amount of brand equity tied up in our old name,” says Topeka CEO Eric Schmidt. “But the more we surfed around (the former) Topeka’s municipal website, the more kinship we felt with this fine city at the edge of the Great Plains.” He also says the initiative “will have no bearing on which municipalities are chosen to participate” in the broadband project. Google announced a new mobile search feature called, “Where am I?”. Go to Google.com on your phone and search “where am I” it will tell you your location. When I checked, I was in Mordor, Middle Earth. “Note that in this alpha release, we are finding that our results can be slightly off,” says Google software engineer John Eric Hoffman. “However, accuracy should improve with greater usage. So if at first the answer is not what you’d expect, please continue to try it over the next couple of days and ask your friends to do the same.” Google launched Google Romance , which let’s you “pin all your romantic hopes on Google.”

With Samsung’s Plasma line developing and growing, picture-quality enhancement have become a main focus for the Samsung team. Deeper blacks and better motion would increase the picture-quailty, but with the new customizable features that allow users to adjust the picture to their preference, Samsung seems to have it in the bag. The LED’s are all under 2-inches deep with the flagship model at only 0.3 inches equaling out to be thinner than a pencil. The line has lower power consumption, vibrant colors, and brightness.
