- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This isn't a hack, it's a built-in feature of these scanners. This guy just built an API for it. Hats off to HP engineers for adding a cool easter egg to their product.
- Satertek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Because everyone always brings their 10 year old SCSI scanners :P

- engalicorn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0COREL IT!
- rekrapt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wonder if there was a purpose for the designers adding this function beyond the "neato" factor.

- forgetfulca, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Aero1 (http://digg.com/users/Aero1) asks:
>> Why?
(Capitalisation is mine)
Aero1, if you have to ask why, then no one can explain it to you.
But, you and the other non-geeks will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

- EyeDye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now if you can get office scanners to automatically play "Baby Got Back" when someone tries to make a copy of their ass, you will be my hero for the day. :)

- toaste, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wonder if any offices have these scanners hanging around... the shenanigans of having the scanner play a tune when turned on would be priceless!

- battybattybatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Its not an Easter Egg when you have to download non-satndard files, only an Easter Egg if it does its "thang" staright out of the Box.
"Tree-wave has also done this." Not really, although he has used the technique for a rhythmic bed, he hasnt really relied on its rhythm for its own sake, as in the AWCOME ***** VIDEO OF THE YEAR (or at keat 1997). ! -
