The 10 best travel April Fools
1. Qualcomm animal convergence
It's the video at the top of the page. Qualcomm has applied convergence
technology to create the wolf-pigeon and shark-falcon. And gone to some
trouble with this video.
2. Xbox
Alpine Legend
It's the Swiss family Rock Band, as you gather around the TV set for a bout of competitive yodelling on the Xbox 360. Kit comes complete with Swiss horn. Of course it does.
3. Warner Bros. acquires Pirate Bay
It's the least likely wedding since Madonna and Guy Ritchie. Only in this
case, it's not true.
4. Internet
being rebooted
Close down all your internet apps NOW. Someone somewhere is reaching for the restart button for the whole of the internet.
Hold your Android phone to your forehead, then click on the link, and let
Google index your brain. It's cloud cuckooland computing.
6. Book
a hotel on the moon
For only £800 a night. Make your own way there.
UK government bids to fight knife crime with one million free Nintendo Wiis
for UK households.
8. iPods
gain weight
The more music you load on to your iPod, the heavier it will get. Go on, try
it.
9. GPS-enabled
footballs
This from Australia. Never lose a football again thanks to a new ball with
built-in tracking function.
10. HP
concept notebooks
If this selection of multi-function concept machines from HP isn't a joke, it should be.
