Ha! New York Times Snookered?

This is waaaaaaay offtopic, but it’s really funny. Earlier today Google released an (obviously fake) release stating that they were going to launch a webmail service dubbed G-mail. Features included a 1GB file limit, and other general kookiness.

What makes an otherwise somewhat lame April Fools Gag funny is that the New York Times’s John Markoff bit and ran a story about the fake release. I’ll be interested to see how the NYT handles the story tomorrow after Google announces that G-Mail should be added to the great April Fool’s Days pranks of the past.
