Where are all the Easter Eggs?

Weird. It works for me in Word 2004 - not every single time, but 75% of the time and it works reliably in Entourage (if i enable html obviously). it does seem to work best in TextEdit.

About the Zapfino. #10 is right that it actually doesn't seem to happen in Word. And in TextEdit it doesn't happen when you have the font size at only 12, but crank it up to 18 or so and try it. The bottom line of the 'Z' will change to underline the whole word.

#4: That's because: a) it's not an easter-egg but a (truly awesome) feature of OpenType fonts and OSX's font renderer actually using it b) Microsoft Office seems to use a different font renderer that doesn't do this sort of thing. Try it in textedit instead, it's amazing.

If you are a video editor try this (it worked much more often pre-Final Cut HD, but we've seen it once since the upgrade). After rendering video or capturing, allow your computer to idle overnight (eg set up a project rendering before you go home, or start a capture as you're leaving the office). Every once in awhile when you come back in hte morning, there will be a cartoon bull at the bottom of the screen that has tons of hilarious things to say - puns and comments and jokes. Careful though, as soon as you touch the mouse he's gone.

In the System Preferences file, if you show package comments and get into the english.|proj and open up the NSPrefPaneGroups.strings there is a section called "Digital Hub" but no sysprefs us it Wierd

To #5 That person forgot "ringu" for BMS3 - a tribute to The Ring :-D

Dave: Try that in TextEdit. It didn't want to do it in Word 2004 for me, but it's sweet looking in TextEdit. And it's an application EVERY OS X user has.

Here's a list of the numerous easter eggs in Burning Monkey Solitaire... http://www.burningmonkey.com/egg_bms.html

Unless I'm missing something, I'm not finding this Zapfino easter egg that you speak of...

"For example, open MS Word 2004 (I believe it works in Office X too). Select Zapfino font. Now type the word Zapfino and watch what happens when you type the last letter. If you misspell it youll see the difference." That's a feature of OpenType fonts with automatic glyph variants (not sure exactly what the feature is called). There are many words, not just "Zapfino" for which Zapfino will automatically change some or all of the glyphs and automatically add or remove ligatures. Most of the other things mentioned aren't from Apple... they're from Python or BSD...
