Easter Egg Selection
Good day, dear habrasoobschestvo! Probably, each of you, making a program or website, wanted to add some Easter egg or Easter Egg to it.
Under the cat you will find a small selection of easter eggs found by various people in well-known software, as well as on well-known sites. I think that some easter eggs are familiar to you, but I hope that you will find something new for yourself. Go!
I thought for a long time in which blog to publish the topic and yet decided to publish it in “Development”, because I thought that all these secrets are somehow related to the development of software and websites. If there are suggestions for transferring the topic to another blog, then I am ready to listen to them. I also decided not to add any screenshots so that you could try everything yourself. Thanks for attention!
Under the cat you will find a small selection of easter eggs found by various people in well-known software, as well as on well-known sites. I think that some easter eggs are familiar to you, but I hope that you will find something new for yourself. Go!
Web sites
- If on the website of the music search engine Mumburum to type the combination "ilovemumburum" (without quotes and not necessarily in the search bar, you can just like that), then you can hear something. Also pay attention to the search engine emblem.
- To see Google in mirror form, enter “elgoog” (without quotes) in the search box and click “I’m feeling lucky”. What you see is a parody of the network term mirror, which stands for a copy of another site. You can also enter “find Chuck Norris” in the search box and also click “I’m feeling lucky”. Try it!
- In the new player Youtube , which was launched in April last year, it turns out you can play the classic snake. To do this, simultaneously press the "up" and "left" buttons on the keyboard. The game only works when viewing the video directly on Youtube.com. If you can not start the game, try to deploy the video to full screen.
- On the website of Microsoft's online TechDays seminars on any page you can type "linux" (without quotes with a small letter) or "Ubuntu" (without quotes and with a capital letter) on the keyboard and get a funny result. I think that you already approximately guess what awaits you.
- An interesting Easter egg hid on the Yahoo.com search engine site. To see it, and to be precise, then to hear, you must click the mouse on a specific place on the logo to the left of the search string. Finding the right place is easy as the mouse cursor changes when you hover over it. Try to find yourself and do not forget to turn on the sound.
- There are several Easter eggs on the site of our search engine, the name of which is Yandex . I will not describe in detail, but simply list them:
- In the weather section there is a game “Weather for good luck”. If you pull the handle on the machine for a long time, then, naturally, it will break sooner or later, with a cheerful inscription.
- It turns out that in Yandex there is a black and white search. At first I did not notice the search string, but it is. Be attentive.
- In the source code of the voting page for the name of ANTIgeroy of Russia, some people are unfairly commented out. Save the page and correct this blatant injustice. A small note: I had to slightly adjust the relative paths to the pictures of the commented antihero to absolute ones in order for it to display correctly.
- On the most usual driving directions to the store “Center of Fireplaces” you can see the disassembly in the style of GTA II ( carefully, there is a mat in the video ). To do this, you need to download the page and wait until the flash card is fully loaded. It will appear before the end of the download, but you need to be patient until all 5 MB are downloaded. After that, click in the lower left corner of the map button "How to pass" - the little man will go to the store. After it comes, we press the button "How to pass" - the car will go. Now click on the inscription "Center Fireplaces", denoting the store, and the action begins. Do not forget to turn on the sound.
Software:
- Skype There are a lot of interesting things, but first things first.
- In Skype, there is a cat that can trample on your keyboard. To see it, simply press and hold any 3 keys on the keyboard in the chat window with an online contact. The main thing is that the pressed keys are not near, but slightly apart.
- Skype has emoticons that are not in the main list of emoticons, but nothing prevents them from being used by typing them manually in the input field (you must enter them in parentheses, of course):
- F * opa - (mooning)
- Middle finger - (finger)
- Bandit - (bandit)
- Drunk - (drunk)
- Smoking - (smoking) (smoke) (ci)
- Toivo - (toivo)
- Rock - (rock)
- Killed wall - (headbang) (banghead)
- Pool Party - (poolparty) (hrv)
- Mats - (swear)
- Bug - (bug)
- Full% #% *! - (fubar)
- Too much information - (tmi)
- Squirrel - (heidy)
- flag - (flag: %%), where %% is the abbreviation of the country. For example (flag: ru)
- Did you know that WinAmp can be used not only for watching videos and listening to music. In WinAmp you can play games!
- Go to Preferences (Ctrl + P), then go to the Plug-ins \ Input \ Nullsoft Vorbis Decoder. Click the About button and start to click wildly on the fish. You can play with friends.
- Select the skin “Bento” (Options -> Skins), go to Preferences (Ctrl + P), in the tree on the left select Skins -> Modern Skins, open the “Current Skin” tab, double-click on the animation, start to eat lamas. Good luck.
- Continuing the theme of the gaming Winamp, open uTorrent, go to Help -> About the program, press the T key (Latin) on the keyboard and enjoy the game of
our childhood(µTris). The P key pauses the game. By the way, everything is in the same window. Help -> About the program you can click on the logo. The main thing is that the speakers are not at full volume. - Google has not cheated on Easter eggs and its Chrome browser. In the address bar, you can enter the following:
- about: internets - see the popular Windows Tube screensaver (not available in all versions of Chrome)
- about: credits - will show the list of programs that were used in the creation of the product
- about: - get the version information (this is more of a useful thing than a secret)
- about: plugins - full information about installed plugins (also rather useful)
- about: crash - no comments
- Have you ever read the book of Mozilla , which according to a number of users is a manifestation of diabolism? Type in the address bar "about: mozilla" without quotes. It is not difficult to guess that the passage deals with the death of Netscape Navigator (“the beast”), from which the Mozilla project emerged, and then Firefox (“fire bird”), respectively. The secrets associated with “about:” do not end there:
- Robots are trying to contact us through Firefox 3.x. To see their ominous message, type in the address bar "about: robots" without quotes. After reading the message, click "Try again"
- about: config - configuration console. At 3.x and above, a warning appears “Be careful, otherwise you will lose the guarantee”
- about: buildconfig - features and variations of the compiler (again, probably not a secret)
- about: plugins - full information about installed extensions
Instead of conclusion
I thought for a long time in which blog to publish the topic and yet decided to publish it in “Development”, because I thought that all these secrets are somehow related to the development of software and websites. If there are suggestions for transferring the topic to another blog, then I am ready to listen to them. I also decided not to add any screenshots so that you could try everything yourself. Thanks for attention!
