Google gives the world the Mic Drop and Real Reality
Google Cardboard is cool but what if you had something that didn’t require a smartphone, had an insane resolution, and looked so real that you could touch it? Introducing Google Cardboard Plastic, an all-clear viewing headset that will introduce you to Real Reality (RR). It’s been in development for decades, millennia even. And it’s here today. Also here today is Gmail Mic Drop, which will send an email with a GIF before completely blocking any replies. You know, for those times when you just know that no response is going to touch your brilliance. Assuming you can find the Mic Drop option in your Gmail – we can’t seem to locate it.

We’re really, really hoping that Juicero is an elaborate April Fool’s prank
We’re all for convenience but this is pushing it. Juicero is a juicer that connects to WiFi – we’re not really sure why – and uses special bags of pre-chopped produce to create ‘pressed’ juice. There’s supposed to be some sort of benefit to this, which you might see if you’re the type of person to go through coffee pods. It’s clean, fast, and probably expensive as balls. It’s also, largely, pointless. Buy some pre-made fruit juice, dammit. We’re not convinced that they’re not having us on. This is a tricky one, though. Generally an April Fool’s Day joke is launched on 1 April but this was announced yesterday and has a lengthy history… meaning that someone might seriously want to start shipping juicers that specifically require custom-chopped ingredients in a bag. The sad thing? People will pay for it. Either that or someone’s super-dedicated to their prank this year.
