Easter Egg: Google Flips for “Do a Barrel Roll” | Webmonkey | Wired ...
Just in case you missed it: A recently uncovered Easter Egg proves Google still has a sense of humor. To see the hidden feature just head to Google.com and search for the phrase “do a barrel roll.” Provided your browser is up to the task — the latest versions of Chrome, Safari and Firefox should all work — the search results <a href="http://dvd-copy-dvd-clone-dvd-burn-dvd-backup.tomp4.com/index.html"><strong>copy DVD-5 type DVD movies to one DVD-9(Dual Layer) disc</strong></a> page will do a barrel roll. It’s worth a chuckle at least, but gaming nerds will be even more impressed to learn that the search phrase “Z or R twice” does the same barrel roll. Google is well known for its Easter Eggs and has even gone so far as to embed an entire flight simulator in Google Earth. <a href="http://www.hotsalekey.com/Whole-Sales-Importers-Exporters.php?id=7"><strong>Computer Hardware & Software on sales</strong></a> These latest two were found by Jason Cross, senior editor at PCWorld. In the Google+ thread below Cross’ post users point out a few more Google search Easter Eggs, including “tilt“, “ascii art” (check out <a href="http://dvd-copy-dvd-clone-dvd-burn-dvd-backup.tomp4.com/"><strong>DVD Backup</strong></a> the Google logo) and our personal favorite, the quite subtle “recursion.” See Also: Easter Egg: The Google Earth Flight Simulator Google 10th Birthday Easter Egg: Street View Guy GeekDad: Do a Barrel Roll With Star Fox 64 3D
