Everyone knows the usual decorated eggs, which are traditionally given for Easter. But virtual Easter eggs are not at all from that "opera" … We can meet with them when working with the most serious programs and hardware.
An undocumented opportunity is called an Easter egg for programs and services on the Internet, a surprise that is easy enough to find. Most often it is a funny picture (sometimes even animated), an inscription, a small game that the developer includes in his software product. Of course, this is not done according to the terms of reference, but rather at the desire to entertain future users of the programs with the search for Easter eggs and the results of these searches.
Probably, virtual Easter eggs appeared with the birth of computers. Most often, Easter eggs can be found in games, in the form of hidden rooms, super attacks, super weapons. Under certain conditions, even bugs (errors in the game that give special features) can be considered an Easter egg. But unexpected possibilities and just jokes can be found in ordinary programs that are designed exclusively for work.
Interested users found Easter eggs in seemingly very boring programs like WinRar, Word, µTorrent. The Easter egg has long been known in MS Word, try to write the word "= rand ()" yourself and press enter. Or, for example, in Mozilla Firefox, if you write “about: robots” in the address bar, you can read a funny message from robots to people and even press a button that robots do not recommend to press.
Conditionally new Easter eggs - on the sites. You can find more than one site where you can find such fun. Most often, to view a picture or a game, you need to click on a certain place, which can be found by chance.
Searching for Easter eggs in software, on websites, in computer hardware is fascinating. And I will not spoil your self-seeking pleasure.
