    Sites hit in massive web attack

    Is this for real or is this BBC humor?

    And what about this?
    Google Adds Time Travel To Chrome Browser
    And this would worry a lot of folks ... :D

    Nobody would April Fool a big attack like that, and heck, that's not even out of the ordinary these days. So that one is real. As far as the Google story, if anyone can pull it off, they can, lol.
