I wonder what other little easter eggs they have hidden?

I'm not sure what I'm looking for. It just shows me search results.

Open the page up and make sure you're looking at it whilst it's loading.

It must not do it on IE6. At least it doesn't automatically crash it like most things. :oh_i_see:

I don't get it either.

WHAT'S GOING ON?!?!

You people should open it on a real browser.

My place of employment doesn't believe in that sort of thing.

Autocomplete triggers it too if you go to google.com and type "do a b"

No worky in IE.

No worky in IE.

See the "real browser" comment above.

But it has the word "Internet" right in the name! Doesn't that make it the best??


Title: Re: Google! Do a barrel roll!

Do "Tilt" as well.  :awesome_for_real:

I'm pretty sure it's a css 3 transition - so no javascript required.

Just, as mentioned previously, a real browser.

Post by: Slyfeind on November 03, 2011, 12:41:30 PM
Doesn't work for me either. It must be like one of those hidden picture things that only some people can see.

I saw it in Firefox. When the screen looped some of the internet spilled out onto my floor.  :uhrr:

Firefox here.  Awesome.

At work on an older version of firefox only tilt worked, at home now and they all work (turn off instant search if you have it on for some btw).

Firefox with No-Script installed.  Tilt works, Barrel roll does nothing.

Saw people googling "Google Gravity" from that link, tried it, and found my way to this:

I am amused.

Edit:  Also, all these tricks work on the iPhone, which is kind of neat.

Barrel roll worked fine in firefox with noscript for me, but I've allowed google API's.  My stock Adroid phone browser got nothing on the other hand.  :oh_i_see:

Changing the search button into "Defrost" was a nice touch.

Ah, its that time of year again, isn't it.

This is god damn hilarious and awesome.  You can zoom in pretty far, and they've gotten most of the geography right.  I don't want to think about how much time they put into this...

edit:  Haha, even street view works.

Since I was in my yard when the Google car drove by, I've now been immortalized in CYMK color. ;D

They really really have way way too much money.

I'm sure they got permission to use them.  :oh_i_see:

I spent a couple minutes trying to figure out why Opera was replacing the images with its own logo before I got it.
