Each of us has heard about Easter eggs at least once. But in our post we will not talk about a real and edible attribute of the Easter holiday, but about a virtual “Easter egg” (popularly often simply called an Easter egg). What does it mean? The definition of the term is perfectly described in Wikipedia:

"Easter Egg" is a type of secret left in a game, film or software creators...

...Most often, to “receive” an Easter egg, a complex and/or non-standard set of actions must be performed, which makes accidental discovery unlikely or virtually impossible. The name comes from a popular family event in the United States and former British colonies, the egg hunt, usually held on the eve of Easter, in which participants must, with the help of clues, find as many Easter eggs (or other eggs) hidden around the area as possible. objects in the form of such eggs).

As you can see, an Easter egg is a kind of joke, a prank that developers hide in their products. Such secrets are found not only in programs, toys and films. Quite often, Easter eggs are found on websites and web applications. One of these sites is the well-known Google, which is very generous with various jokes - from petty pranks before hidden games. So, below are the most original Google Easter eggs, which you can see by clicking on the links * .

Hi all! I was recently scrolling through Twitter and came across a tweet from Google Russia. Google decided to remind you of its Easter eggs. I decided to see what was cooked there. Now I want to tell you! Everything is under cut...
1) Back to 1998.
So the first Easter egg takes us back to the past, namely to 1998. Exactly 1998 year Google was registered as a private company. In this way, Google is trying to show that they have always fought for simplicity. user interface. To see this with your own eyes in English version search engine enter the following " google in 1998", without quotes and the results will appear in the interface that you had search network in 1998.


2) Sweet Android surprises.
Many people know about this Easter egg, and Google is simply crazy about it! Back in 2010, in Android 2.3 Gingerbread, users could stumble upon an interesting Easter egg in the settings. It’s not clear what state the user had to be in to poke at the Android version, but there was a stoned dude who poked at the version and told the whole world. As I already wrote, to find an Easter egg you need to go to the settings of your phone and click on Android version.
  • IN Gingerbread a zombie gingerbread appears and an Android figurine surrounded by zombies;
  • IN Honeycomb(Android 3.0) an Android bee appears on the screen;
  • Easter egg in Ice Cream Sandwich(Android 4.0) - this is Android in pixel art, if you hold your finger on it for a long time, then many of the same figures will fly across the screen;
  • IN Jellybean Beans fly across the screen. And in KitKat an animated mosaic of pictures appears, indicating different versions Android.


3) Take me upstairs, Scotty.
To be honest, I didn’t understand what we were talking about. And I didn’t understand the explanation after. As Google puts it, this phrase is from the TV series Star Trek. I won’t lie, I haven’t seen the series and this is actually the first time I’ve heard about it. The phrase “Beam Me Up Scotty” is the starship captain’s signature address to the engineer and means that he needs to be transferred to the ship. To see this Easter egg with your own eyes, enter the following in the YouTybe search engine: “ Beam Me Up Scotty” without quotes and enjoy.


4) Surprise in a phone booth.
It’s hard to find, but it’s not necessary because there’s a link. I remember when I was little I watched the series “Doctor Who” on TV, I really liked it even more than the drug addicted “Pokimon”. Google simply could not pass by and prepared a surprise for us in London. If you walk around Google maps and go to the desired one telephone booth then you can find yourself in the Tardis - the time machine and spaceship of Doctor Who.


5) Pony.
Everyone likes ponies, from little girls to even brutal bikers. Google realized this. Now there are ponies on Hangouts. True, they only live in the desktop version. We can only hope that ponies will come to our smartphones. To see cute ponies you need to type the following in the message box " /ponystream" without quotes and scream with joy.


6) Search games.
Google's favorite destination. How all companies love to make users nervous, but Google loves to make people happy. Below are some search jokes:
  • If you enter in the search engine “ Do A Barrel Roll" without the quotes, this will cause the search page to do a "barrel". Even my IQ of 11 points does not allow me to understand what a “barrel” is.
  • Enter this " Tilt" without quotes and you'll get a lopsided page. I didn’t notice right away, I’m blind.
  • Typing the following phrase "blink HTML" without quotes causes the words "blink" and "HTML" to blink. I don't know what else to say, it's cool.
  • This phrase “Atari Breakout” without quotes includes the famous arcade game in the image search. This is probably a publicity stunt. No, they just want to capture our minds.


7) Unicorns!
At first I thought it was cute that Google liked ponies. But now it's Google's craze. Or maybe some of Google’s shareholders are cute ponies, so they advertise themselves in every way. To see this Easter egg you need to go to the site Google Play and click search. It will automatically search for the word unicorns.

8) Fibonacci sequence.
I have already spoken about my “high” iq, but I don’t know who this Fibonacci is. I hope you know and tell me in the comments. In short, if you enter the following phrase “Fibonacci” in YouTube search without quotes, you will learn about Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio from the animation.


9) German beatbox.
You've probably heard and seen a lot about this; I'll just give one example.
You need to install translation from German to German and enter the following sequence letters: pv zk pv pv zk pv zk kz zk pv pv pv zk pv zk zk pzk pzk pvzkpkzvpvzk kkkkkk bsch.Next click on the speakers to listen. The people have accumulated a lot of them. If you know more sequences, write in the comments.


10) Greetings from California.
If you wander onto the Google campus in Mountain View, you can see the team Google Maps complete with a “We Love Street View” poster.

And that's all! Bye!
