On April 1, 2019, the major tech companies of the world made an effort to create particularly clever or simply silly jokes. We present to you 5 spots that we at MeinMMO found the best and laughed the loudest about.
Now tulips can speak: From Google Netherlands comes a video that is quite serious. The Google scientists have apparently achieved a breakthrough in “human-plant” communication.
As a result, we humans can finally talk to the beloved tulips. At first, it seems helpful; the plants can tell us what they want (“More water” especially). But when deep philosophical questions arise, talking to “plants” may not be such a good idea after all.
PlayStation as a keychain: From Sony comes a completely obvious idea for the 25th anniversary. A collection of anniversary keychains in original size.
The biggest Sony fans describe how the keychain has become an integral part of their everyday life. After all, the PlayStation is fully functional and one even trains one’s arm while unlocking doors. Sony is of course selling the accessories separately.
Razer eliminates speaking: For those who have always found speaking in everyday life annoying, Razer has the solution. One simply pings wildly through the app, marking what others absolutely need to know.
It’s just a shame when they don’t follow the instructions – but pinging is wonderfully efficient and fast. The video also contains a little homage: a PC is marked as “Apex for Dummies.” Apex Legends recently made pinging popular.
Asus builds the ultimate monitor: From Asus comes, on April 1, the monitor to end all monitors. The ROG Swift 360 now offers complete visibility. Of course, with 360 Hz refresh rate.
A little self-irony shines through, as one wonders where the journey with monitors will still go. For some hardware enthusiasts, the all-round gaming monitor with the super chair probably cannot come soon enough.
T-Mobile introduces the ultimate alternative to the mobile phone: T-Mobile introduces the ultimate solution to today’s smartphone user’s problems with a wink.
Since one cannot have a private conversation anywhere in peace anymore, one needs a retreat for long-distance calls in public. The “Phone BoothE” astonishingly resembles the phone booth of yesteryear. But of course, it is much fresher and cooler, so it fits into the year 2019.
