Apple Store app’s Easter egg turns your phone into a snow globe

Easter eggs are fun things developers hide into their apps to either make them more useful or just add a touch of whimsy. It’s the latter for this Easter egg hidden within the Apple Store app. The app, where you can buy Apple products (not the App Store), has a little trick that can turn your phone into a snow globe when you’re using it. Head over to the Apple Store app and type in the words “Let It Snow” in the search bar. When you do, snow will start falling from the screen. It’ll continue to do so if you remain within the app. Shake the screen and it’ll act like fake snow in a snow globe.

Shake things up with Google Hangouts Easter Eggs

Google just won’t be Google without its Easter Eggs. We get another dose of some pretty whacky ones added into their new unified chat service, Hangouts—ponies, pitchforks, or the KONAMI cheat, anyone? However, these codes work only with Hangouts on Google+ and not in video calls, the Chrome Extension, or the mobile version. 

If you’re bored at work and want to add some quirky fun to your day, you should try these out. Just make sure you don’t use it on your boss or someone you have a professional relationship with, unless you know they are into that sort of thing.
