Submission + - Slashdot goes over the top for April Fools day

Submitted by
driverman
driverman writes: "Slashdot probably has the highest pranks per pixel (ppp) ratio of any news-related website out there. Many users have counted at least five unique april fools pranks on the main index of the site, and not all of them are limited to stories. One of the pranks is masquerading as a feature, and two (1, 2) of the pranks can be attributed to Google. No Microsoft pranks have been sighted as of yet (Vista doesn't count as an early one, either)."

Submitted by

newtley writes: "The members of the Big 4 Organized Music cartel have announced the cessation of the sue 'em all marketing campaign under which they've been trying to persuade consumers to buy corporate download product. "We have issued instructions to the RIAA and our other enforcement organizations around the world to immediately withdraw all lawsuits and to refund court costs and other expenses incurred by people sued," says Phil McBoot, chairman of the Big 4 Working Group, in a statement. "We were acting on the advice of Mitch Bainwol, Carry Sherman, Jonathan Lamy and Jenny Engebretsen, which we now realise was wrong. We humbly and sincerely apologise to anyone who may have inadvertently been harmed by the actions of the RIAA, BPI, IFPI and similar bodies actions.""

Submission + - Blu-Ray & HD DVD End Format War With New HD-Bl

Submitted by Jim
Jim writes: Hell freezes over... "Speaking on behalf of the two groups, Reverend Jesse Jackson of the newly-formed Electronic Rainbow Coalition said, 'The time for healing is now. This was a war of choice that left consumers on the sidelines with no real choice at all. Both sides have become so focused on winning this unwinnable war that they have lost touch with what they desire most — the ability to charge consumers for content they already own.'"

Submission + - New 10,500 watt Power Supply is Hot!

Submitted by
PowerfulPete
PowerfulPete writes: "Literally! And it catches the test bench on fire! PC Perspective has tested a Miller Electric XMT 300 unit that produces 10,500 watts of electrical power. Sure, it weighs it an nearly 80 pounds, requires a 240 VAC line and costs over $3,000, BUT it also can produces up to 375A on the 12V line! That's more than enough to power a dozen or so PCs! To connect to the computer, a "power distribution module" mounts inside the PC where the normal ATX power supply would go."
