Today being April Fools Day there were quite a few interesting news stories out there. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that L-Plates will be required for Yum Cha trolleys. Apparently Telstra Cable is being shut down, according to Whirlpool. Burn said that Sony would drop the PS1 and PS2, to focus on handhelds. Google is offering free 1GB email boxes. The Tasmanian Tiger has been cloned and is no longer extinct. ThinkGeek have a swag of new products. Bash.org revealed their secret method of approving quotes. Atomic report on a new game from John Romero. But are they all joke articles? Hard to tell sometimes. :) No doubt there'll be more as April 1 rolls around to the American sites, so keep your grain of salt handy. Thanks to all who sent those in.
