Big hype train.

I actually doubt it'll do much, unlike the viruses the big companies ignored.

I think it's too early to tell. It's not even April in the next time zone over from here.

Well it's no Rickroll but it's certainly something: http://www.youtube.com/t/new_viewing_experience

Welcome to Youtube upside-down version.

Maybe I'm just getting older, but the internet being completely useless for 2 days every year is getting old.

Now if they pull off their pranks on non-April 1st days, then it's actually clever.

The better pranks are the ones that pull jokes without getting in the way (see YouTube flipping videos upside down)

Not to mention that the Youtube one isn't mandatory so you can still view the videos normally by clicking a link.

I actually fell asleep in a public bus this morning on my way to work.

Woke up with a cardboard plate attached to me, reading "HOMELESS, NEED MONEY TO LIVE".

So yeah, I got fooled right from the morning.

I tend to not listen to anything that I hear online during today. You just don't know what could be real or fake. ____________________

I think my computer is playing tricks on me. Earlier, my browser couldn't connect to any webpages, and then a few minutes ago I got a spontaneous Blue Screen of Death.

You might want to get that checked out. I heard on the news that the virus is out there and mutating. ____________________

I've run AVG, Avast, and OneCure. I was pretty sure I was clean as of last night.

I heard that it targets computers with illegal copies of Vista/XP on it, as well as downloaded anti virus software. Could be true or not, but I think they see those computers as easy targets. That's why I'm not turning on my old computer today. ____________________

OMG...I just saw something over at Digg. They have a pop up in the corner and it was the banana. It's still too early....it was kinda funny though. I wonder if it has sound with it. ____________________

That's probably just because those copies are less likely to have the relevant security patches applied, I guess.

Nothing has happened here so far, so I guess I'm safe.. for now. I'm not really all that scared, but I did take some backups yesterday just in case.
