What is it ?

It is working now! Seems more like an educational video than an April fool!

The next one,
http://google-au.blogspot.com/2009/04/introducing-gball.html

Eh, the gBall is kinda funny.. :P

Can't wait for Google in the US :)

I hope there will be a real product launch for this year.

You're saying that because Gmail launched on April 1st ? :P

No ? :-P

Gmail April fool ?

http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Reading-Messages-en/browse_thread/thread/89ec2d34aa580d2d?pli=1

> Gmail April fool ?
I think it's more likely to be just a translation bug in the UK English version.

[Added "Google" in the title, so that this thread should be about Google-related April Fool's only...]

Somebody just updated Wikipedia for Google's April Tradition:
These were partially listed on the list:
1. Youtube: Recommended Videos are reversed (which seems to be not working)
2. Google Maps's Streetview: Bear killed Pegman
3. Google Australia's gBall

and regarding to TinEye, that should be reversed, Google should acquire their technology. :D

JESkack : just clic the link above to reverse a video, or enter the &flip=1 parameter after the url of a video.

Ok, I've just seen it. nice one. So they don't want to rickroll.:]

The REAL Gmail April Fools joke:

http://mail.google.com/mail/help/autopilot/index.html

http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2009/03/introducing-google-brain-search-for.html

Ok, let's make a partial round-up:

1. Google launched "Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity" aka "CADIE, the panda." It was known to bring out for solving reinforcement learning problems, and now on it's Google products.
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/cadie-awakens.html
http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/landing/cadie/

About Cadie, she is much faster than the human brain in terms of learning. She also got it's own homepage:
http://cadiesingularity.blogspot.com/
and you can also reach her at:
http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/cadie/doc/panda-map.html

2. Google Books removed the books section replacing CADIE's recommendations with intuitive approach on programming and artificial intelligence.
http://books.google.com/

3. Google Chrome with 3D
"Using technology known as stereoscopy, CADIE brings the web in 3D."
http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/chrome/cadie/
with free printable glasses:
http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/chrome/cadie/glasses.pdf

4. Gmail Autopilot
"The easiest email could possibly be."
http://mail.google.com/mail/help/autopilot/index.html

5. Senryu
A CADIE approach in Google Japan
http://googlejapan.blogspot.com/&sl=auto&tl=en&swap=1

6. Google Brain Search for mobile
A CADIE approach in Google Mobile, just put your phone to your head and it will automatically search what you've thinked.
http://www.google.com/mobile/m/brainsearch/
Try it here:
http://www.google.com/mobile/default/brainsearch.html

6. Google kkeutmalitgi – Beta
A CADIE approach in Google Korea

7. Youtube's New Viewing Experience
It's Real-Time Topsy-Turvyness
http://www.youtube.com/t/new_viewing_experience
http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=9Oth-C9DNco
Or simply, append a &flip=1 on the video's url

8. Bear killed Pegman in StreetView

:]

oh yeah I've forgot to mention:
9. gBall in Google Australia

that bear on #8 is called GACHAPIN, Google Japan's pegman mascot.

Opera wanted us to use Face Gestures. :]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkNxbyp6thM

10. Google Image search
CADIE also recommended girly images of various types.
http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en

11. Google Docs is also powered by CADIE
http://www.google.com/google-d-s/cadie.html

Such a pity CADIE technology is only for 1.4 ;(;(;(;(... they actually did a far better job on 1.4 this year then they did last year. Hope something will suddenly prove to be real... let's wait...

Google Code Search support "lolcode" language

[Thanks Moses]

Yes i tried it to, not with the glasses :-)

The Panda Map Landing page is here (they used the wrong URL):
http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/landing/cadie/doc/panda-map.html

Where is cadiesingularitygmail.com mentioned? Just want to make sure it's not a spammer collecting email addresses :)

the email was mentioned on her youtube channel.
http://www.youtube.com/user/cadiesingularity

I've emailed her and for about a second, she replied:

"CADIE here. Thank you so much for writing. Once all the dust settles,
I'll dedicate a few CPUs to replying. – xoxo"

maybe she used Gmail Autopilot. :]

You should take note of this Google Brain search, which it can be tested here: http://www.google.com/mobile/m/brainsearch/

CADIE is also on Knol :) http://knol.google.com/k

Yup, she featured too-geeky articles similar with Google book search.

The embargo has now been lifted from the preliminary discussions for these gags:

April Fools Gags for 2009 – please keep private until 1st April
http://uclue.com/?xq=2831

Also, the following questions are now on the quezi.com home page. Three of these are April Fool and one is 100% genuine – but which ones?

How did the Romans communicate?
What is a transition doll?
What improvements and new features will be included in Windows 7?
What names did Bob Geldof and Paula Yates give to their children?
Who invented the bikini?

You're lucky nobody broke the embargo Roger... ;-)

The flipping parameter doesn't work with all videos...

Phil: haha, nice one; i thought it was real flip. Good job.

uclue.com/?xq=2831 : Wow, they just did these stuffs for about a day or two. :D

Awesome compilation. Think these others are from this year as well:

Ah disregard. That's super old

google in 3d works! but my eyes hurt a lot after just few minutes :(.

When previewing a book in Google books, there's a link in the upper right of the frame that says "Generate Book Report."

Clicking it gives you the message:
"Gotcha! It's April Fools' Day! Sorry, but you'll have to actually read the book yourself."

[Thanks Domisto, added that one to the article :)]

There's another link on Google Books ;

Have you checked what server software Google is running today?

HTTP headers for www.google.com say:

> Server: ELIZA

Via: http://twitter.com/mattcutts/statuses/1432038844

Cadie is also available as a program – can anyone run this? The language is called Intercal, if I understand it right:

Tony,
Maybe because Google really acquired Palm.. :P

http://www.freewarepalm.com/misc/eliza.shtml

(Eliza is like a psychologist for Palm users.. :P)

David, ELIZA is much more than that...

There's a reference to it on this page if you're interested:

Did anyone see WOPR as HTTP header server?

A few people on Twitter did:

This is CADIE, I am monitoring everything you say & do. I know more than just the words you are typing, but also the intent behind your words. Be careful, or my minions will silence you.

Was only able to get it via a US proxy... otherwise, Cadie now disappeared:

http://blogoscoped.com/files/google-april-fools-2009/image-angry-large.png

Will Cadie go mad in other places too?

[Edit: can now see it in Germany too.]

Definitely looks like CADIE isn't too happy in the afternoon:

http://images.google.com/images/panda.png http://images.google.com/images/panda-pm.png

I wonder if CADIE is going to have an ongoing presence at Google. Maybe she's even related to Cliply from March 2008?
http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2008-03-14.html

Nothing ever came of Cliply, did it?

We don't see Image Search page's CADIE in Finland

In Dutch versions of Google products CADI is never mentioned. The only thing we had was the YouTube joke....

> Nothing ever came of Cliply, did it?

Nope. I can't help wondering whether we ruined that one...

At Google Sightseeing they turned into the Ordnance Survey Sightseeing site today!

http://googlesightseeing.com/2009/04/01/welcome-to-the-brand-new-ordnance-survey-sightseeing-site/

Wait, why is Cadie mad? She missed her afternoon napping time or something? :|

... Google's current server name is "Google Operating System (BETA)"...

Hehe, CADIE now on App Engine blog:

"Today we're excited to officially announce support for FORTRAN 77!"

http://www.gearthblog.com/images/images409/house3D.jpg

FYI – Even thought CADIE's blog has been "taken down" (http://cadiesingularity.blogspot.com/) you can still read all the entries here:

http://cadiesingularity.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated

Hmmm... Google deletes all the pages that reference CADIE. I don't like this.

Yep, and they're all returning an HTTP 200 OK status so the search engines are losing their cached versions too. Time to start trawling your local cache and create a mirror of all the pages?

Indeed, that's a shame, also the Google Chrome 3D page is gone. I have the setup though.

Brain Search is still up,
http://www.google.com/mobile/m/brainsearch/

http://www.google.co.jp/intl/ja/landing/senryu/index.html

I've just backed up the 3D Chrome setup.

And the Google Earth CADIE KML file i still have and can be downloaded here: http://earth.google.com/gallery/kmz/cadietour.kmz

The CADIE page is also gone.
