Easter Eggs:

No, not the edible colored kind. An Easter Egg is a term that refers to an un documented feature or novelty that is in a program that the makers of that program placed in the program for additional fun and credits. Easter Eggs are in no way destructive to any software or hardware within the computer and are usually meant for something unique and fun. The irst ever Easter egg took place on the Atari 2600 way back in 1980, when Atari programmer Warren Robinett set about making a video game version of the original text Adventure. The idea of hidden gems took off and there were more to come in other venues. Here are just couple of Easter Eggs examples.

• Google “tilt”
• Google “do a barrel roll”
• If for any reason or purpose (or just for this easter egg), you still own a copy of Microsoft Excel 97 , then you’ll get a kick of a Flight Simulator:

INTERNET OR SLEEPING?

Where do you think we spend more time? By sitting in front of our computers and searching on the Internet or in our bed in a deep sleep?

New research suggests that one in four people spend more time online than in bed.

Sky Broadband company that conducted the study reported that because more people are sick of the so-called e-anxiety syndrome. Those people panic, or even fall into depression when they are not able to check their email or Facebook account.

It has been proven that men spend more time online than women. In particular, one of the four men a day spends six or more hours at the computer, while one in five women spends as much time on the Internet. One of three people a day is checking email more than 6 times.

It is particularly bad that people spend more time at the computer and less time to walking, socializing with friends and family, but also for a quality sleep.
