If you’re anything like me you’ve probably missed the fact that today is April Fools Day and probably didn’t even realize it was April already. This is THE day for practical jokes – and today’s tech giants have quiet the sense of humor. Let’s take a look at today’s practical jokes from our favorite tech companies:
Google: Smartbox by Inbox
Mail is a wondrous thing. From the early days of the homing pigeon to the herculean efforts of the Pony Express, mail has connected us for generations. The advent of email brought the world even closer together. And yet, despite this leap forward, physical mail still just sits there. In a box. All day. So today we’re excited to introduce Smartbox—a better, smarter mailbox that fuses physical mail with everything you love about the electronic kind.
Google Japan: Panda
