1. Find out how the weather is... in nowhere.
How: Open up Dashboard first. If it’s not in your Dock, press Command-Space bar to open up Spotlight. Then type ‘Dashboard’, and click on the first result to open it. You should get a screen like this.
If you don’t have the little weather application at the top, click the plus, find the weather amongst all the other widgets (add some more if you want!) and then drag the weather widget to a convenient place. Now comes to the weather in Nowhere. Press command and option, and then click on the cloud/thunderstorm/sun on weather widget, all at once. That should lead to this (it may be a different weather):
Nice to know that there are places in the world where snow is still possible.... If you do the key combo+click again on the weather, then the weather changes, but it's still in nowhere.
2. This is for Lord of the Rings or Hobbit fans out there. (GATE RLA students, you know who you are!) Open Terminal, if it’s not in your Dock, do the regular spotlight search for it. In Terminal, copy the following command and paste it in.
cat /usr/share/calendar/calendar.lotr
Voila! You should have a complete list of all the important dates in the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, not in chronological order, more like anniversary order. Enjoy!
3. Surprise Easter Egg!
This is on Google Maps, so non-Mac users can do it too. So, go to Google Maps. I suggest you zoom out totally. Then go down to Antarctica. At the northernmost point, in other words, here:
 |
| The green at the top is the south of South America. |
Now, once you're zoomed in, drag the orange peg man out from the top of the zoom thingamajig.
You should see all the regular little blue rectangles which, if you drag the person onto you can see pictures people took at those locations. It should look like this:
Watch the magic!
 |
| Follow the directions. |
4. (Google Maps) Walk from the Shire to Mordor! (Lord of the Rings)
Click on 'Get Directions' on Google Maps, in the side bar. In 'A' type 'The Shire'. In 'B' type 'Mordor'. Under ANY condition DO NOT click on any of the options provided. Click out of the options on a totally random place, just not the option. Ok, after that is done, over the text spaces, click on the walking icon instead of the car one. Then click get directions, and read the text below. Enjoy!
5. (Google) A graph.
Copy and paste the following into Google search and look at what follows. Hint: easter eggs!
1.2+(sqrt(1-(sqrt(x^2+y^2))^2) + 1 - x^2-y^2) * (sin (10000 * (x*3+y/5+7))+1/4) from -1.6 to 1.6
6. (Google) In class game- and you can just say, "Three before you, right?"
Search zerg rush on Google. Tapping an o three times kills it. But you'll never win.
7. Go to the following link:
For more easter eggs, go to this link for Google and this link. Or, of course, you could just search it.
Have fun!
Have fun!
