That's the second time I've had this reaction, must be an American thing, because any April fools after midday is, ooooooo, bad luck. But the general consensus is that you just don't do them after midday.

Maybe it's a Brit thing.

There's a rule in there somewhere that you can't fool people about Apple products.

Knowing that Tiger has reached gold master status gives me even more reason to believe that all
Apple products displayed next week April 5-7 at Washington D.C'.s FOSE convention will be pre-loaded with Tiger.

With heavy hitters from Intel and Dell giving keynotes Apple needs something to steal the show and the aforementioned may just do it.

Don't even bother. If they haven't announced anything by now, they won't. I would guess the 5th or 12th for an announcement.

no Dazzla your correct, saying an april fools joke after 12pm is considered to be very bad luck for the person telling it. i think too many people have forgotten about this but if they asked their parents they might find this to be true. all my friends know there is a deadline for jokes.. i wonder why so many peopole dont in america.
Chad
probably because that's not true in America. Different areas have different traditions

I'm American and I've heard that before too. I guess you have to take the person's time zone into account though with a worldwide community such as this.
