Google Easter Egg Frosts Your Screen

Just in time for the holidays, Google's added an Easter Egg -- an old software colloquialism that means a hidden feature for 'insiders' -- to its search portal.

Google has hidden a special holiday "Easter Egg" that turns your screen into a winter wonderland.

Simply search for "let it snow" on Google and prepare yourself for an HTML5 blizzard--actually, it's more like a few flurries. The cool part comes after a few seconds, when your screen "frosts over" and your cursor can be used to trace messages or doodles like a finger against a window on a chilly day.

Press the Defrost button to remove the snow.
