Folks, as the webmaster of OSNews, I'm sorry to report that the OSNews server was hacked early this morning by a l33t haxx0r known only as "osV_rul3z." Although our database server does not appear to have been comprimised, all of the advertising code was deleted and our code was slightly modified to make everyone a premium level subscriber. Rest assured, we are working on the problem and hope to have OSNews restored to its original state as quickly as possible. UPDATE: As everyone suspected, April Fools!

Really cute way to introduce everyone to the new OSnews and pass it as a april fools prank...I like it!
If anyone hacked the site I am sure it would be corrected in no time flat so I have to think this is just a prank.
I do like the look, seems a bit barren and could use some extra features...i think
But nice, guess I picked the right time to cruise over and sign up!
