If you have noticed, the background colour for the “Sponsored Link” on a Google search have changed from Blue to Yellow. A pale yellow. The previous colour, blue, worked much better, and complemented the colours of Google’s site much better. Now, the yellow is just an eyesore. This is probably to bring more attention to the Sponsored Links, so Google makes more money.

April Fools: CrunchGear Gets New Design
Sunday, April 1st, 2007CrunchGear now has a new (cough) website design. Nice April Fools joke, a little too retro, though. This must’ve been what websites looked like when HTML 1 was released. 😛 Okay, maybe not then, but still a long time ago. 😛
Ubuntu Gets Internet Explorer and FireFox Mixed Up
Sunday, April 1st, 2007The other day, Ubuntu announced that you can beta test 7.04, and listed some of the new features. One of which was this:
Windows migration tool: The new migration tool recognises Internet Explorer bookmarks, Firefox favourites, desktop wallpaper, AOL IM contacts, and Yahoo IM contacts, and imports them into Ubuntu during installation. This offers easier and faster migration for new users of Ubuntu and individuals wanting to run a dual-boot system.
Internet Explorer bookmarks, FireFox favourites? Uh, no. It’s Internet Explorer favourites and FireFox bookmarks. They sorta got that mixed up, nice one Ubuntu. 😛
April Fools?: PHP.Net Logos
Sunday, April 1st, 2007I’ve noticed today that the PHP logo on PHP.Net has changed. This is possibly an April Fools Joke.
php.net:
ca.php.net and us2.php.net:
That’s all the different logo that I found, but there may be more. Some mirrors have the normal logo, some have a broken image for a logo (as in, the file doesn’t exist 😛 ) and some have one of the above logos.
This would be a weird April Fools joke, if it is one…
