Internet Easter Eggs

A media Easter Egg is “an intentional inside joke, hidden message, or feature in an interactive work such as a computer program, video game or DVD menu screen. The name is used to evoke the idea of a traditional Easter egg hunt.” Here are some Easter Eggs hidden around the web.

Google is filled with Easter Eggs. In their search engine try to search for “recursion”, “do a barrel roll” or “fun facts”.  While on the image search in Google you can search for “atari breakout” and enjoy this retro game right in your browser.
