3) Doodie.com and Atomfilms.com

10) Easter Eggs
Easter Eggs in the computer business means that an application has hidden functions. It could be nonsense functions (like the alien in QuarkXPress' who shoots away at selected frames on your page with an antiquated weapon with a highpitched sound - in QuarkXPress 4 there are even two different aliens), or they show pictures of those who developed the application, or, like in Photoshop, shows an electric cat at certain shortcuts. There is a whole website dedicated to this kind of information, that is where the Easter eggs are in different applications and how you can reach them and enjoy them.
