Google Chrome easter egg
September 3, 2008 by Andy Martin
I’ve been steering away from news on Google’s new web-browser, Chrome – frankly because I just don’t see the point. Well, that and I’m on a Mac so I can’t run it anyway unless I’m in my Parallels side and I don’t go over there much. Seems that most of what it can do I’m already doing in Firefox anyway. This, however caught my eye as a pretty cool geek-reference.
Most browsers have the functions for “about:” whatever. “about:config” brings up a registry of sorts to tweak seetings, “about:mozilla” when done in Firefox brings up a line from “The Book of Mozilla” that’s pretty entertaining in a geek way, and “about:robots” gives you a great “Welcome, Humans!” page called “Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!” (talk about geek and sci-fi culture reference…). Google Chrome has one fun one that users have found so far, “about:internets”. Typing that in gives you an animation that I think anyone who ever used Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 will recognize as what once passed for a most awesome screensaver – along with a now appropriate page title referencing our favorite internet-challenged Senator from Alaska, Ted Stevens:
Don't clog the tubes!
Most awesome. That alone makes we want to use Chrome

neat-o
i’ll try it right now. i’m also using a mac, but with vmware 
I might just fire up Parallels and install it just to see this. After all, it would be the geek thing to do
