Are there any good April Fools jokes today? For example, a few years ago Google announced a sewage based ISP (i.e. flush some fiber optic cable down the toilet and they would fish it out and connect it).

The only one I have come across is IGN article about the Nintendo Virtual Boy Pro.

Yeah, last I heard, the place I worked at was going to be priced out of their products, from ESXi hosts to Horizon to WorkSapce1. ALL the eggs were in that basket.

They'll have to transition and retool for everything.

I work for a F500 org that does billions in sales a month and Brocade couldn't tell us if we were going to be invited to the new partner program. It was an absolute shitshow.

Makes me glad I only have to deal with Cisco and FortiNet.

Definitely a shitshow. I have some contacts internally over there that have led me to believe that it's as bad as it appears to be from the outside.
