Google has done it again!

Apr 1st, 2007
Today, google released a new service, which I believe will be the best one yet! They released their new service TISP (http://www.google.com/tisp/, which is a free wireless internet service. I think this has to be one of the greatest services/products ever created by google!

Google News spoils all the fun. The headline is something like "Google fools people with its Toilet ISP service".

Bleh, it's almost fun to be deceived.

This is just google showing that it does indeed have a sense of humor. It was funny enough that it was mentioned on our local six o'clock new.

i agree. even Microsoft (or their employees) have some humor at times. for instance, look at these support articles:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=152697
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=172653

the ClickOnce installer while installing .NET 2.0, when failing, states:
"It failed. *sniff*"

and while we're laughing, here's Apple's newest product, the I-Rack:
