Here's Google Apology For Gmail's April Fool Prank

Yesterday was April 1, which means day of Fool Pranks. As like of every year, Google this year also pranked its users but it went wrong for many users. That much wrong that Google apologised for it.

Coming onto Gmail’s “Mic Drop” Prank, they introduced it from yesterday’s Morning. The innocent prank inserted a animated GIF of a Minion doing, what else, but dropping the mic, then muting replies so that you always got the final word. Exactly, this thing did not went smooth as Google was thinking. Few of users even got fired from Job after using this feature.

So after the great backfire, Google dropped the “Mic Drop” from Gmail around mid of the Prank Day. Also, now, they have issued apology to the users for creating ruckus by introducing this prank. The ynot only apologised but took few points to notice which can allow users to know more about “Mic Drop”. Here’s what Google said in an update to original blogpost of April’s Fool Joke:

• We should have asked you before turning on the feature, and it should have included a confirmation before sending.


• We didn’t anticipate accidental clicks: “Send + Mic Drop” was too close to other send buttons (“Send” as well as “Send & Archive”), which caused confusion.

And yes there was a bug. It was rare, but possible to press the regular “Send” button and still Mic Drop if you did the following:

• Opened a new compose window


• Pressed the “Send & Mic Drop” button with no recipients and saw error message


• Edited the message by adding message recipient(s)


• Pressed the regular send button.

HTC 10 Mini With Snapdragon 823 Coming With 4.7 Inch Display

HTC 10 is waiting for launch at an event which is expected to take place this Month. The real device is even not launched and we have got its variant from Rumor Mill. Yes, HTC 10 Mini is here with some specs spilling out of the sack.

As per the sources, HTC 10 mini is going to be powered with the recently launched Snapdragon 823 which is going to take over the Snapdragon 820, with low clock speed. Also there’s going to be a 4.7 Inch display with 4 GB of RAM. Well, there are no more details that got surfaced but we think these specs don;t hold any real value.

Coming onto the verification of this rumor or leak,we expect this as baseless specs as compared to he HTC 10 leaked reports. If we compare it with leaked HTC 10 specs then mini carries a bigger and little advanced processor than Snapdragon 820 which defies the ‘Mini’ Variant rules of every device. Further, 4 GB RAM can also be termed as false assumption because we think 4GB RAM is going to be made real on HTC 10 main variant and will not take place on HTC 10 Mini.

We are just comparing the facts on the basis of some old stories, rest we can’t ensure whether these are true or false assumption. We have to wait for the official launch event of the HTC to know about HTC 10 and its Mini variant.
