Benad's Web Site

Well, this year’s April Fool’s day wasn’t too bad. Engadget has a nice roundup of the jokes around the Internet. Techcrunch has a more complete list. A special mention that’s not listed in the above links goes to XKCD, with a uniquely generated comic just for you, with dozens of permutations based on your browser type, ISP, location, window size and more.

I normally dislike browsing the web this day because too many time web sites would just post fake news that are plausible, meaning not funny and not obviously a joke, making the whole day a series of “is that a real news”? This year seems like the first time that the fake news are almost all obviously fake, and where the jokes are at least mildly amusing.
