Every year, Google tries to outdo itself for April Fools’ Day. The company’s various divisions pull together more jokes than any other tech firm we know, and it gets difficult to keep track of them all. As a result, like last year we’ve put together a roundup.
First up, Google Japan has introduced the Magic Hand, a new input method for smartphones. In short, you no longer have to operate your own mobile device: the magic hand does all the hard work.
The nonexistent device weighs just 800g and can be attached to any keyboard. There are right-hand and left-hand versions, as well as ones to replace your thumb, pinkie, cat paw, or back scratcher:
If you want to learn more, including the technical specifications, check the hand out here.
The Google Maps team has launched a new Pokémon Challenge that lets anyone with an Android or iOS device catch the critters. Just launch the latest Google Maps app, tap the “Search” option at the top of the screen, and hit the “Press Start” option beside the blue Pokéball icon.
To play, you’ll need to use the map to find Pokémon nearby, catch them by going to the location in person, and finally add them to your Pokédex. If that seems complex, this video will explain it for you better:
We have to admit, this beats last year’s joke of Google Maps Treasure Mode.
Google says Gmail is 10 years old today, and that part is completely true: the service launched on April 1, 2004. To celebrate the double-digit anniversary, Google’s joke this year is the Gmail Shelfie, which stands for the SHareable sELFIE.
Google even went as far as to say that it is responsible for the selfie, calling Gmail “the pioneering platform for selfies” and explaining how the trend began:
When custom themes launched back in 2012, we urged you to find “your perfect image and make Gmail your own.” And you did. Many of you rushed to take photos of yourselves to upload as your Gmail custom theme, which you started referring to as selfies.
The company has a very scientific graph to back up its claim:
Yet since there’s no obvious way to share your selfie with others (Google doesn’t like to talk about Facebook, Instagram, or even apparently Google+), the Shelfie had to be introduced. With just a few clicks, everyone can now set your Shelfie as their Gmail theme “so they can enjoy checking, reading, and writing emails while seeing your friendly face in the background.” If you upload your selfie and upgrade it to a Gmail Shelfie, you may even manage to get it on the trending list.
Google’s acquisition of Nest Labs closed over a month ago, which means the home automation company can now join the April Fools’ Day bonanza. Nest has teamed up with Virgin America to reinvent the way people fly:
Total Temperature Control lets every single passenger set their own temperature for an even more personalized flight. There are even presets like Cancun Afternoon and Chicago Polar Vortex.
Google hasn’t announced this one yet, but it’s pretty straightforward: Chrome replaces certain words with emoji. Thankfully, the feature is entirely optional, and has to be enabled first: if your device’s date is April 1, just hit the “Translate to Emoji” option in the menu.
When it comes to its April Fools’ Day marketing budget, Google seems to have a bottomless pit around this time of year. We’ll continue to update this post as the company launches more jokes.

In an effort to shrug off its “ghost town” reputation, Google today updated Google+ with total content views for profiles and pages.
On any page, you’ll notice the new figure underneath the user’s profile photo, just next to where their follower count is displayed. It includes the total number of views for their posts, photos and profile page. Clearly, this is a move to prove once and for all what the level of user engagement is like on Google+.
Of course, that number will fluctuate depending on how many followers you have, how often you publish and the popularity of your posts. Nevertheless, it’s an important metric which could prove the success or failure of the social network – and also indicate whether brands should persevere with it.
Finally, it’s worth noting that you can hide this figure at any time under your Google+ account settings, with the check-box labeled “show how many times your profile and content have been viewed.”
If you’re still unsure about Google+’s credentials as a social network, a report released today by Shareaholic shows that it drives fewer, but more engaged social referrals. It’s well worth reading.
Apple has informed developers that it will be increasing App Store prices in Australia, India, Indonesia, Turkey, and South Africa. It's also decreasing prices in Israel and for some tiers in New Zealand.
Within the next 24 hours, the following changes will be made to pricing on the App Store.
To account for changes in foreign exchange rates, App Store retail prices will be increased for the following currencies:
● Australian Dollar
● Indian Rupee
● Indonesian Rupiah
● Turkish Lira
● South African Rand
Additionally, retail prices for Israeli New Shekels and some price tiers for the New Zealand Dollar will be decreased.
Apple makes pricing adjustments on the App Store periodically to address changes in foreign exchange rates.
A new tool called Sell Hack claims it allows anyone to see the email address of a LinkedIn user. We contacted LinkedIn about it this morning and the company responded in the evening to say the company’s legal team is delivering a cease and desist letter to Sell Hack “as a result of several violations.”
“LinkedIn members who downloaded Sell Hack should uninstall it immediately and contact Sell Hack requesting that their data be deleted.” Krista Canfield, LinkedIn’s Senior Manager of Corporate Communications, told TNW in a statement. “We advise LinkedIn members to protect themselves and to use caution before downloading any third-party extension or app. Often times, as with the Sell Hack case, extensions can upload your private LinkedIn information without your explicit consent.”
While the violations in question were not listed, it’s obvious Sell Hack isn’t a legitimate tool. According to Yahoo Tech, which first reported about it, installing and using the extension to view anyone’s email address takes just a few steps.
We have asked LinkedIn if the company is doing anything else aside from mobilizing its legal team. While Sell Hack is clearly up to no good, this type of trickery shouldn’t be possible in the first place.

Square today announced it has added support for paying with Bitcoin. As a result, buyers can now use the digital currency to purchase goods and services on Square Market, which allows sellers to create an online storefront with online payment processing.
The mobile payment company promises the experience won’t feel any different for sellers and they “don’t have to change a thing, except potentially expecting new trailblazing customers and more sales.” In other words, Square wants them to be able to offer Bitcoin as a payment option without any headaches.
While Square says it “focused on making the experience smooth and simple,” here’s how the process works step-by-step:
At the other end, the seller receives the amount of the purchased goods or services in the amount of USD advertised to the sellers’ customer at the time of transaction, and can fulfill their customer’s order. In other words, the seller takes no risk on Bitcoin value fluctuations.

Hi everyone,
First of all sorry for my English as i am not a native speaker and if something will be not obvious please let me know :)
So it is my main class: http://ift.tt/1pArrfM
Generally i class download data form finance.yahoo and create simulation based on the standard deviation. Button "Start simulation" Run whole code, but in lines 300-309 i want to add data to chart so something like this:
Java Code:
series1.add(i, cumulativeResult);
To create XY chart i based on this link http://ift.tt/1pArtUK but to be honest i don't get it how used it in my main class. So i want to add each component of chart while java creating simulation and calculate the cumulative result and finally user can decide if she/he wants to see chart or no. Of course as you see in my code the button create chart is enabled only after hit the run simulation (java must create data).
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
When we think of planetary bodies with rings, we automatically think of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. But a newly revealed discovery has changed that and caused a lot of excitement in the scientific community! Enjoy YouTube channel SpaceRip’s discussion about Chariklo’s two rings, how they were found, and the speculation that Chariklo may have a moon as well.

Hi there all..
I am hoping someone on this forum can direct me as to where to go from my current state.
I have created a program that will take in input of paper names and authors.
The next step of the program is to make references from paper to paper, and be able to add as well as list those reference, and i am lost as to where to go.
I currently hold my instances of my paper class (the different papers I have stored) in a hash map. With the title being the key.
Is there a method as to where I can link keys? Do i need to use a seperate data structure?
Or maybe add a new attribute to the paper class?
Im really not sure.
I have attached the program as a zip file, hopefully someone can spread some knowledge. If you open the zip file then its the methods in the ResearchSupportApp class that I need guidence on.
Many thanks in advance.
