Being a Linux user is sort of like living in a house inhabited by a large family of carpenters and architects. Every morning when you wake up, the house is a little different. Maybe there is a new turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily removed the floor under your bed." - Unix for Dummies, 2nd Edition (Found in the .sig of Rob Riggs)

Yeah, they did it back in 2008-2009, but it was just every featured video in the home page redirected you to a Rick Astley video.

This really is a joke...

Firstly its name is "AF401", which means "April Fools 401"....

 

secondly its website is "https://www.asus-event.com/aprilfool_2015/"

 

thirdly, you can find this in the April Fools article of Trad.Chinese Engadget site

http://chinese.engadget.com/2015/03/31/2015-april-fools/(in Chinese)

 

lastly, I finally find one English source....

http://www.yugatech.com/the-internet/fast-five-2015-april-fools-day-tech-posts/#more-85528

 

edit: finally found one English source who listed its functions in details...

 

http://ph.priceprice.com/news/asus-zenfone-zero/

 

The images from the back of your minds can now be transferred and saved as a 3D hologram powered by “ASUS Back Technology ™”, regardless if you are indoor or outdoor, with ASUS technical expertise you can view the hologram clearly. You can assign a background music to play along with the image/video, You can also enjoy your conversation on the phone while listening to your favorite music. The images and videos that were transferred from your minds to the ASUS Zenfone is automatically stored in ASUS Cloud where you can share with your friends and family.

Who in the world has technology like this?

 

After detaching the smartphone, the place that holds the smarthphone can also serve as an mosquito coil holder

 mosquito coil holder? seriously??

I thought Corsair's was great. Reminded me of a DollarShaveClub commercial.
