Oh that wacky Google is at it again. It's almost April Fools' Day, when our favorite non-evil tech company always comes up with some funny shenanigans.

Although this year's Google Mini isn't nearly as funny as some of the past hoaxes, such as 2002's PigeonRank™ clusters of low cost pigeons computing the relative value of web pages (a play on PageRank), 2005's Google Gulp line of "smart drinks", 2006's Google Romance, or my personal favorite, 2007's Gmail Paper - the ability to request a physical copy of any message which they'll send to you in the mail.

Genius.
