Hmm, maybe pointless but being the leader that Google is (c'mon, they are the only company in the world to map the entire planet), nothing is off-limits for them

@Dhanya
I guess in a way, that was the point of the ad: something so obvious couldn't actually work right?
Besides, its not a movie screen...mostly a bunch of people don't sit together to look at one computer.

Yeah, those glasses look tacky. Plus, the picture of the people using them look kinda funny too!

@Sheeraz
Yeah, I missed it last year too...that's why I wanted to make sure I got it this time.

@pink
The glass was the lamest part of the joke...the part that gave it away.
They put in good effort into Chrome as well; developing that "Enable 3D" button which phase-shifted the red and blue channels of all pictures on a web page and make it look like it should be seen with 3D glasses!!!

Quite a lot of effort for an April's Day joke

oh so that glass enables a 3D view? does it?

How can it happen??? I mean i missed to see google page on 1st of April on both years.. :(

@Aersh

I wonder too; but I guess it would be interesting to know how many clicks that site had today...and how many people were fooled.

And like Darshan said, one of these days Google would make a real announcement on 01Apr which on one's gonna believe.

@DarshanYeah, the print service gag was tops!!And ...

2009-04-01T21:13:00.000+02:00

@Darshan
Yeah, the print service gag was tops!!

And regarding the fact that they might make a serious announcement one day which no one will believe, I guess this already happened to a chocolate manufacturer a few years ago when they gave away free chocolate to passengers at an airport...and no one wanted to eat it.
:D

2009-04-01T16:25:00.000+02:00

I love this about Google. Every time they come up with some awesomely novel idea. The most impressive and real sounding was, of course, Gmail's print service!!

But I wonder now that we guys know this about Google we are obviously to know it being a prank when Google announces something weird around the Fool's day..

Anyway, I love Google!
