Last night, while everyone was busy tweeting about TV shows, Google quietly introduced Google Nose, a new feature that allows you to smell your search results from your computer “by intersecting photos with infrasound waves.” Or did they? Some of the sharper and more skeptical denizens of the Internet think it might actually be an April Fools’ prank.
They’re probably right. Right?
Google's new page "Nose" must be an April Fool. . . right?
