Hidden Internet Jokes
Spiegel has published a few examples of funny jokes that are hiding in programs and sites that we are using everyday without knowing it. I have quickly summarised the findings in a few lines:
Firefox: Checkout the address “about:robots” and this page will show you a new interesting site! The robots want to communicate with us humans!
Yahoo Yodeling: Some years ago there was dispute about that Yahoo Yodel, which is actually still hidden on the site. Go to the Yahoo.com site and click on the “!” in the Yahoo logo in the top-banner.
Amazon: Check out the hidden special thanks to David Risher, former Amazon employee, by clicking on an invisible image below the copyright note on the bottom of the category overview page.
Picasa: if you want to see funny teddy bears, open your picasa and type “ctrl+shift+y” at the same time and you will see teddy bears appear!
Google Reader: if you want to see ninja’s in your google reader type the famous konami code: “↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A” and ninjas will appear in your reader.
These hidden gags are quite funny. Do you know of any other ones?
