Damn, I did the same trick (altough horizontal flip instead of vertical) and thought I was so clever. Now I'll look like I'm just ripping them off.

Drat.

sorry, the whole april fools thing is stupid. their idea of an april fool's trick is to turn their logo backwards and to put models with bad makeup on the front page? uncool and lame. at least the MeFi...or is it Me4Fi was done well.

I didn't think this was front page worthy, so I will stick it in here with this AFD thread. Apologies if protocol has been crossed. Another AFD page..

**Video Details of Apple iTiVo Revealed** -- Based on unconfirmed
but reliable reports from within Apple, the company is planning to
release its own digital video recorder (DVR) device, based on
technology licensed from TiVo, Inc. (see "TiVo: Freedom Through
Time-Shifting" in TidBITS-594_).......

Article and Movie (1mb QT)

Read the article first, then watch the movie. Quite a laugh. All via TidBits

Maybe a thread should be started to catch all AFD pages out there?
