Easter Eggs

"Easter egg" is software-industry slang for a fun, hidden feature in a product. Many mainstream software programs contain Easter eggs, which usually present information about the people who created the program. Often these credits are presented with attractive graphics or a game-like interface, making them more of a reward to find -- and more entertaining for the developers to create.
