April Fools 2.0: EcoBox Humor

April Fools is back.

One of the best financial indicators for Sun is its April Fool's Day prank.  In the good years the pranks are good, and in the bad, they're weak (usually prank web pages).  This year we're back with an actual physical prank.

This year they moved CTO Greg Papadopoulos' office into a Sun Blackbox.   It's got satellite TV, a bed, wine fridge and two EasyBake Ovens.  I'm lame and don't have pictures yet, but I'll add them as soon as I can.

Update 1: I guess they are calling it "Project EcoBox" and it also includes Jonathan's office (thus the two EasyBake Ovens).

Update 2: The EcoBox website is up, with pictures spoofing the old blackbox pictures.

Update 3: Here is the video tour of OpenWork 3.0 (jeez, pick a name, guys).

I was in MPK last week and saw the box. I didn't get why there was patio furniture around the Black Box and what seemed to be a solar panel on top.
