A virtual Easter
egg is an intentional hidden message or feature in an object such
as a movie, book, CD, DVD, computer program or video game. Virtual Easter
eggs can be simple animations, messages such as the programmer's name,
undocumented features, elaborate built-in extras in DVDs or hidden tracks
in music CDs. Most eggs are triggered by a set of commands within the
product.
