Google Gulp and Your Privacy
From time to time, in order to improve Google Gulp's usefulness for our users, Google Gulp will send packets of data related to your usage of this product from a wireless transmitter embedded in the base of your Google Gulp bottle to the GulpPlex™, a heavily guarded, massively parallel server farm whose location is known only to Eric Schmidt, who carries its GPS coordinates on a 64-bit-encrypted smart card locked in a stainless-steel briefcase handcuffed to his right wrist. No personally identifiable information of any kind related to your consumption of Google Gulp or any other current or future Google Foods product will ever be given, sold, bartered, auctioned off, tossed into a late-night poker pot, or otherwise transferred in any way to any untrustworthy third party, ever, we swear.

Google Gulp - very good

a DNA scanner embedded in the lip of your bottle reading all 3 gigabytes of your base pair genetic data in a fraction of a second, fine-tuning your individual hormonal cocktail in real time using our patented Auto-Drink™ technology, and slamming a truckload of electrolytic neurotransmitter smart-drug stimulants past the blood-brain barrier to achieve maximum optimization of your soon-to-be-grateful cerebral cortex. Plus, it's low in carbs!

11. When will you take Google Gulp out of beta?

Man, if you pressure us, you just drive us away. We'll commit when we're ready, okay? Besides, what's so great about taking things out of beta? It ruins all the romance, the challenge, the possibilities, the right to explore. Carpe diem, ya know? Maybe we're jaded, but we've seen all these other companies leap headlong into 1.0, thinking their product is exactly what they've been dreaming of all their lives, that everything is perfect and hunky-dory – and the next thing you know some vanilla copycat release from Redmond is kicking their butt, the Board is holding emergency meetings and the CEO is on CNBC blathering sweatily about "a new direction" and "getting back to basics." No thanks, man. We like our freedom.

Definitely one of the funnier April Fool's I've seen today.

Some dude rang up the Gerry Ryan show earlier saying he was a cross dresser. He's 17 stone, finds it difficult to get nice ladies tops, he's got a big gut so any top he buys, his belly hangs out. He finds it difficult to drive his van in heels (said his job was a van driver). He was giving out about the ban they are bringing in on certain types of clothes to be worn in places (I have no idea what ban, coz I missed the start of it). Anyway, Gerry fell for it hook, line and sinker. At the end of it, Gerry says "good morning" and then your man goes "Gerry, can I add something more? Happy April Fool's Day". Gerry was going mad! Coz he took the whole thing really seriously! hehe

Sure Gerry was winding up half the country by having a guy on to say that Grafton St. shops are introduching a dress policy; No track suits, football jersys etc.. Most of the fruits that ring in sound like an April Folls joke TBH

Mossy Monk

thats pretty sweet. any such service for ireland on the interweb?

The stuff you can do in GoogleMaps is pretty awesome, but it only covers North America at the mo. When it leaves beta it'll cover more.

Oh was that it? See I only tuned in just when the 17-stone-cross-dresser was talking. So I'm assuming that's what they were talking about then heh

GoogleGulp looks so tasty though.

NotMe

Yeah I wouldn't mind a google gulp right now. Does anyone have a bottle lid they could send me?

what about gmail that's so funny, reactor? I see they're upping the size, but given the launch last year I wouldn't be too surprised at that..

I think their "staff for moon base" april fool was the must unbelievable, and I think they got applicants!

maybe my sense of humor is not as refined as yours but I thought the whole

On the eve of Gmail's one-year birthday, our engineers were toiling away furiously. Notes scribbled all over the walls. Complex calculations on napkins and empty pizza boxes. Millions of M&Ms.

The result?... starting today, we're beginning the roll-out of our new and top secret Infinity+1 storage plan.

was kinda funny
