emacs in itself is an easter egg to most Mac owners - tippmann1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Heres what my copy of MS office says:
BLOCKED! - ChumpChief, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Funniest part was:
Terminal is an OS X application that you might not be familiar with. It resides in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder, and can be used to access the Unix core underlying OS X.
ell oh ell. - veracon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2For those who don't know, The Book of Mozilla had three different versions through the software versions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Mozilla
- Youssif, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Try to Make a new folder in any version of Windows and rename it to "con" or "CON" - without the " ", could you ?
Try it anywhere, Desktop, Drive C, etc.. - blueskydiver76, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Seriously...those are some of the worst easter eggs i have seen...one or two good ones. At least the article was't titled "OMG the 10 BEST ever easter eggs (hidden things in programs) that you have Ever Seen.. You have to see this."

- superheroboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hrrmmm. I put it in Word and it populated 573 pages in less than a second. Not as much fun as space invaders....
- pusle, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Hehe, funny. Liked the OpenOffice one! :)
- wiifm69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1awesome 543 pages. At least its fun
- frankidadio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In Photoshop on a pc it's ctrl & alt + about photoshop, not just ctrl as said in the article...
- captinherb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I can't get the damn alien to come out, my text box just disintegrates.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Just in time for Easter!
- Sonic_Molson, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4I'll digg you down for every character in that message...lets seee.....-19,320 sounds good.
- Speed, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2FAP, just so you know, with computers as fast as they are today, you're not going to freeze them for that long with the rand parameters as they are.
- iNoles, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2PHP got a dog one.
- fantafanta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's pretty funny! I work with InDesign almost every day, but I still have'nt found that "Easter Egg"!
- doubting, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There's also details posted in the comments about the Asteroids game hidden in Mac Office's "Office Notifications" app.
- LivoniaMason, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Gomoku pisses me off. The computer always wins. Its very addicting. I spent just over an hour playing that silly game.
- avisotin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I love toying with physiotherapists.
"No way."
"Why do you believe way?" - theyesman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3I do not know if all of these Easter eggs qualify as design software, but it is always useful to learn new tricks about your everyday software. Maybe this will inspire other software authors to include cute aliens in their software - I sure hope so.
I like rubber ducks to, maybe I should treat myself with a copy of Imageready. - shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2The most fun is utorrent
- nomadxx7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Great little article. I'd like to see a site or page dedicated to a lot of software Easter eggs. The alien one and the yak one were cool. Nothing like drolling over a computer all day and hitting the command to have an alien pop out and vaporize your text box :).
- je12u, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Notepad - Hidden Bush Secrets!
1.) Open an empty notepad file.
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it with any file name with as .TXT file.
4.) Close it, and re-open it. - therealdeal101, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Man, this is heavy...

- bwanac, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2psychotherapist is so helpful. and saves me money too!
- goggen71, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1First time I saw Bruce the Yak in FCP... Those days I was using some rather heavy medicine due to a temporarily heart condition. Well, I was really afraid seeing this yak on my desktop, I actually shut down my mac, and I remember calling my doctor, luckily a friend of my, asking about side effects of that heart drug. Well, that was my first rendez vous with Bruce...
- joker74, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Nice article. Reminds me of those good old eastern eggs in games.
- RailOcelot, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0There was something similar to the Mac OS X Terminal: Psychotherapist on Linux (but came as a download) can't really recall been long time since I used it. (I'm cured OK?)
- steininge, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I would have thought that I had a virus!... :-)

- rerojoha, on 10/12/2007, -8/+0great stuff!
- FAPmaster, on 10/12/2007, -15/+1The best Easter egg I've seen is when you enter "=rand(200,99)" into any M$ Word version and press enter. (w/o quotes).
