Things have been busy at Mountain View lately, today Google announced a new feature called Google Motion.
Google Motion is a technology that will enable to interact with Google services such as GMail with you body using the computer's webcam. It will supposedly free you from the mouse and keyboard for common tasks and is supposedly going to rectify this "problem" Google seems to have with keyboards and mice.
The video is quite funny:

Lmao, took me a while to realize why google would have a fake job posting. Totally forgot it was April Fools today.

Just got the Google motion too, I saw it at work earlier today where we don't have a webcam, thought thats kinda neat and kept eating my lunch. Because of the lack of camera I never even tried clicking the button.

Yeah I was like yeah definitely April Fools when I saw the popup in GMail :D
I loved the send mail gesture :cool::good:
 
Like I said, I was blindsided by april fools in general..nothing at work made me think of it, and I've never been one to look forward to the day or even think about it other than when I see things like this.

Just watched the video and yes, love the send mail gesture :P The whole video is hilarious though, love the typing too.
