Friday Fun: Google Easter Eggs

Google might have a basic search interface, but that doesn’t mean it can’t have some fun.  We’ve seen special Google “doodles” marking special events and anniversaries.  But Google has hidden Easter eggs in its various products and services from Android to Google Maps.

PCWorld recently posted the list of Top 15 Google Easter eggs of 2012.  Enjoy!

Friday Fun: Google Askew

Previously we posted a Google Easter egg which is uncovered when searching for “do a barrel roll“.  Google coders have hidden other Easter eggs, as well.

In any current web browser on your computer or mobile smartphone, perform a web search for “askew” or “tilt” and see the slightly-off results page.

(If you like, you can let me Google that for you.)

Friday Fun: PEBKAC?

IT Support people coined the term “PEBKAC” (or “PEBCAK”) to mean “Problem Exists Between the Keyboard and Chair”, a polite way to say “user error”. The less polite term is to call it an “ID10T” (pronounced I-D-ten-T) error.

Friday Fun: Do a Barrel Roll

Perfect timing for Aviation History Month, Google has an aviation-related Easter egg on its website.  Using a current browser that supports HTML5 (Chrome or a recent version of Firefox works best), search Google for “do a barrel roll”.  Hang on!
