NERF Nuke is the BFG of the NERF world

nerf-nukeYou know what they say, a wounded animal who is cornered as its most dangerous, and some folks out there are willing to cut off the nose to spite the face. When you have run out of options in a NERF fight, there is still hope to take down everyone else around you – regardless of whether they are friends or allies, and you can do so with the $99.99 NERF Nuke which will definitely be regarded as the BFG of the NERF world the next time you sit around a campfire and regale one another with war stories of your NERF exploits.

The NERF Nuke will be able to deliver what we like to call “mutually-assured NERF destruction”, as this functions as the NERF weapon to end all NERF wars. In fact, the NERF Nuke works this way – it will be able to shoot 80 NERF darts in every direction, where you can opt to hold it up in the air as a “grenade”, throw it up in the general direction of the enemy, or to make use of the included high-powered launcher, the choice is yours. These NERF darts will be sent speeding all over the place at a range of up to 30 feet, now how about that? Happy April Fool’s!

Mr. Beard Beard Machine lets you crank out a beard of your choice

mrbeardIt sucks when the rest of your mates have started to grow bodily hair all over the place, and they have even begun the great adventure of shaving and the like, while you still wonder how come your hormones are still locked within the stables, as your previous attempts in growing a manly beard failed – miserably.

This is what the $149.99 Mr. Beard Beard Machine is all about, taking a page out from those Nespresso machines and their coffee pods.

Nokia 3310 upgraded with 41MP PureView Camera

nokia-3310-pureviewYou know what they say – if you want to get something done, do it once and do it right, otherwise do not bother doing it at all. The Nokia 3310 has been quite the hallmark for Nokia when it comes to having released a successful handset to the market. Back in the year 2000 when the Y2K bug proved to be a bust, the Nokia 3310 took the world by storm, selling more than 125 million units along the way, and even appearing in its fair share of memes over the years to show just how durable and tough this particular handset is. This April Fool’s, Nokia wants to pull our legs by claiming that the venerable Nokia 3310 is going to make a comeback of sorts with updated hardware that will keep up with the times.

Yes sir, apparently, the new Nokia 3310 will now feature PureView capability while staying as close as possible to its original design. The inclusion of PureView translates to the addition of a 41MP PureView camera with Zeiss optics and Xenon flash, where it will ditch the monochrome display and run on a modified version of Windows 8 that will be able to fit the unique ‘ClearDiamond’ three-inch touch screen.

Of course, who can forget the classic metallic dark blue shade that the original Nokia 3310 came in? The Nokia 3310 with PureView will feature that in addition to more updated colors such as yellow, blue, red and green. There will still be three ‘soft-touch’ navigation keys hanging around, albeit these will feature a Windows Phone ‘home’ button which will introduce you straight back to the Start Screen.

Not only that, both LiveTiles and App Folders will also be supported, and this particular handset will also arrive pre-installed with MS Office, Xbox Games, Outlook and OneDrive that boasts of up to 7GB of free cloud storage right out of the box. What an imagination!

Google Translate Does The Emoji Dance (April Fool’s)


To say that the folks over at Google are a creative bunch would be quite the understatement. After all, they have come up with some pretty decent services and tools in the past, and April Fool’s is a great way to let off some steam. In fact, another prank by them would be having Google Translate being able to support Emoji, and in this prank, it claims to be built directly into Chrome for Android and iOS so that users are able to read all of your favorite web content using efficient and emotive illustrations, so that you need not have to labor your eyes through a bunch of text.

    April Fools Jokes 2007: Woot Sells $1 Million Bag of Crap

    This article was written on April 01, 2007 by CyberNet.

    Ashley explained awhile back how Woot works, and every now and then they decide to sell a bag of crap. Normally the bag of crap sells for just a dollar or two (plus $5 shipping) because the stuff in them is completely random and typically of no value.

    Woot

    Well, Woot has sold out of today’s bag of crap that cost user’s a whopping $1,000,001.00 and they still had to pay $5 for shipping. There was nothing special about this bag of crap other than the insane pricetag…and here is what Woot had to say about it:

    Speaking of, how much crap does a million and one dollars buy you? Turns out, not much. Despite the extravagant price tag, these bags will contain the same garden-variety crap we usually foist off on you suckers. We’re not kidding when we say this stuff is crap, as in junk, as in trash, as in totally useless flotsam that wouldn’t even exist if the world was a sane and rational place.

    I know, you’re sorry that you missed out on the chance to blow a million dollars…maybe next time you’ll have better luck. 🙂

    Stay tuned as we feature a wide array of April Fools Jokes throughout the day!

    Samsung Robot Comes With Siri-like Features

    Samsung Robot Comes With Siri like FeaturesCome on now, I am quite sure that when one talks about robots, Samsung would not be the first name that pops into the mind. After all, the only thing about robots that I can remember from the South Korean conglomerate would be their robotic vacuum cleaners that do seem to do a pretty good job, actually. Well, here we are with a patent application from none other than Samsung themselves, although this one has nothing to do at all with a vacuum cleaner, but rather, will have plenty to do with the walking motions that can be found in next generation robots.

    It does seem as though Samsung is working on a new generation of D-Copycat robots which surprise, surprise, will sport a Siri-like feature. There are rumors surrounding this particular patent filing, where it states that Samsung’s next generation robots could remain “educated” just to a certain level, as they are “stuck” on certain phrases at this point in time, which might require Samsung to call off the latest project altogether. This patent was filed in September last year Stateside, and a year earlier in Korea. Of course, after reading all of this, it adds up to nothing but an elaborate and late April Fool’s prank.
