Neat hidden photoshop trick

Hey everyone, here's a nifty little thing some programmer at Adobe put into Photoshop CS2, it's just a short video but it's pretty funny and I never knew about it. (It's not the space monkey trick)

That is only a hair better than the 1981 Atari 2600 "adventure" Easter egg.

Adventure is notable for introducing the adventure genre and RPG elements to home consoles, giving the player a wide area to explore and plenty of interesting things to look for. But it's perhaps the most noteworthy for giving players one specific treasure to find: Robinett's own name, hidden in a secret room. In the early days of video games, publishers refused to allow game programmers to take credit for their work, despite the fact that only one designer usually handled the design, coding, and graphics for an entire game.


The world's first Easter Egg! Robinett, however, wanted to see his name in lights, so he built a hidden room in Adventure containing the words "Created by Warren Robinett." To find it, players had to pick up an invisible "dot" and use it in an obscure way. The secret was eventually discovered by Adventure players and was subsequently called an "Easter Egg" by Electronic Games magazine. Luckily, it generated so much publicity and sales that Robinett was never reprimanded -- in fact, Atari started encouraging programmers to put hidden things in their games. Today, Easter Eggs and other hidden things are present in just about every game, computer program, and DVD that is released.
