April Fools day hasn’t even started, and we are already getting pranked. Check out the Pre-Game Pranks.

• TheFunded last week wrote a notice saying it would be shutting down. Techcrunch breaks the prank and annouces it is not shutting down.
• ZDNet gives their own twist on an April Fools gag by annoucing the ‘fake’ winner for the $4.7 billion National Broadband Network contract.
• Because Australia is ahead of us, Google has already launched its gBall for Australian footbal users.
• Smashing Magazine broke a story about Internet Explorer 8.1 and its ability to act like multiple browsers.
• SitePoint annouces that the internet will reboot at 11:59 UTC on April 1st.
• PSS annouces IVR-SmartASS – SMART Assisted Self Service System to make sure callers on customer service lines don’t lie.
• You can flip any YouTube video upside down by adding ‘&flip=1′ to the end of the url.
