You Can Now Play Solitaire and Tic-Tac-Toe in Google's Search Results (venturebeat.com)

Paul Sawers, writing for VentureBeat: Google announced a couple of fun little nuggets today: you can now play Solitaire and Tic-Tac-Toe directly in Google's search results. Available through the desktop and Google mobile apps, anyone searching for the keywords "solitaire" or "tic-tac-toe" will see the usual search results, but featured prominently alongside them you'll also now see a "tap to play" option which whisks you off to play the game. Google is no stranger to hiding so-called "easter eggs" in its products, including Search -- for example, last year it had a surprise in store to mark the anniversary of Super Mario. Moreover, Google already lets you play some games within Search, including Pacman.

You know what would be a cool easter egg? If they'd FIX FUCKING GMAIL. Yeah, that'd be great. You know, so it could do the simple, yet enormously useful things that FUCKING EUDORA COULD DO IN FUCKING 1991.
But hey, look, TIC TAC FUCKING TOE.
BLARGH.
