April Fools

CADIE, or Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity, is part of Google's 2009 April Fool's Day pranks. CADIE is a newly created artificial intelligence with the personality of a teenager.

By analyzing trends in social networks, for example, she created a blog and YouTube channel to show her love of pandas. She determined this love and the look of her blog by analyzing user trends.

Google claimed that CADIE was now a regular Google employee and already working on a 20% project.

There's also a special version of Chrome with 3D. Every time you press the 3D button, it gives the graphics on the page a red/blue shadow. Google also provided a PDF of 3D glasses you can print out for "viewing" the 3D effect.

:) if you all didn't know, Google loves April's Fool. They always come out with interesting hoax and of come some of them became real. Gmail is one of them. Read more at Wikepedia Google Hoax.

On 2007 April fools day, it introduced Gmail paper where users can send free emails in paper carried by Google staff and a Toilet internet service provider (TISP) that provides a free Internet connection through the users toilet using the flush.

The best of the previous editions were Google MentalPlex which could actually read what you find and do the searches and the Google Romance.
