Submission + - Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Easter Egg? (slashdot.org)
An anonymous reader writes: One year ago, Easter Sunday was greeted with the news that many companies were increasingly cracking down on "Easter Eggs," harmless snippets of vanity code playfully hidden by developers.

The Easter Egg is a tradition which dates back at least to a hidden room in a 1979 Atari game, and I still have fond memories of the Batmobile Easter Egg (video) in King's Quest II (1985) and tales of that weird musical Easter Egg in Windows 95 which scrolled the names of their entire development team.
