News.com's April Fools edition published

by Declan McCullagh

To celebrate the first day of April, News.com has published a special 4/1 edition that has compiled some less-reported headlines on all things technology, from Wikipedia to Vista and the Department of Homeland Security. If you like our coverage, let us know!

Other 4/1 news can be found at urgo.org and Wikipedia.

Google announced Gmail Paper and Google TiSP.

The Register uncovers exactly why computers get slower over time, and we learn about an important Viagra story from The Independent.

Slashdot is considering a Digg-like rating system, and the BBC, Facebook, and Thinkgeek have interesting news to report today too. (The BBC is featuring a new advance in computer screen technology.)

Declan McCullagh, CNET News' chief political correspondent, chronicles the intersection of politics and technology. He has covered politics, technology, and Washington, D.C., for more than a decade, which has turned him into an iconoclast and a skeptic of anyone who says, "We oughta have a new federal law against this."

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
