Google and their little easter eggs....

Post » Thu May 03, 2012 3:08 am

Google has some nice little things you guys may have never noticed. There are probably a bunch of them, but I've found two small, "easter eggs" if you will, so far.

First off, if you https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&site=&q=binary&oq=binary&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=5406l6117l0l6335l6l6l0l0l0l0l150l625l3.3l6l0&gs_l=hp.3..0l10.5406l6117l0l6336l6l6l0l0l0l0l150l625l3j3l6l0 you get about 0b1011000101100010001010000000 results. :biggrin:

The second thing, if you go to http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl and Get Directions from A (The Shire) to B (Mordor) using walking directions and pressing Get Directions will get you a nice result. :banana:

Anyone know any more? I love Google. :bomb_ie:

You got to set it to walking directions (click the little man icon). Also, be sure to read the contents of the yellowish orange box (under the big blue GET DIRECTIONS button).

It's not technically on Google, but it IS owned by Google... If you hold down the left arrow key on any Youtube video, then press up while still holding it, you can play Snake.

It worked for me. Make sure you have walking directions selected and not driving directions.

I should drive 7 minutes from my house and demand Google to tell me their secrets.

I don't know if this is an Easter egg, but there is a Google flight tracker...

I quite like those of Wolfram Alpha, which is not a search engine but a computational knowledge engine, and as such deals solely with facts.

Such as:
