Google has officially announced and begun rolling out the new design for the Google Play store application staring right now. Android phones and tablets running Android 2.2 or higher will at some point over the next week or so be receiving the new layout which, we must admit, looks pretty damn nice.

Hitman: Absolution didn't do as good as it was thought it would when it arrived on store shelves. That's not to say sales weren't good, they just were not as good as originally planned.

There is one day a year where the world tends to devolve back to when we were 10 years old and pulling pranks and jokes on other people is the standard policy of the day. That day is today April 1st, or otherwise known as April Fools Day for the comically inclined people out there. If you don't have a sense of humor, this is the worst day of the year for you. For the rest of us, it is a day of launching or getting laughed at.
