I think I found an easter egg while updating Quicksilver on my server... I assume it will happen whenever your clock has all the same digits (ie 1:11 3:33 5:55 etc), but I only tried it once on 5:55 PM. I won't spoil the easter egg unless no one else can reproduce it. I will say it is simple and slick, and if you blink you might miss it. I'm just excited because I've used Macs since I 1984 and never discovered an easter egg without hearing about it elsewhere... Confirmations anyone?

Hmm - just set my clock to 11:11 and nothing happened.

The first time I launched this build (QuickShiver) the logo spun around - but I haven't seen that since.

Is that what it was?
You know it makes sense. ☼ ☼ ☼ Growl.

D'oh. You nailed it. However, I upgraded my iBook and then my server right after that, and I swear the logo didn't spin on the iBook. Still no easter eggs for me...

I've seen the logo spin once, it wasn't the first time I installed the new version though so maybe you're onto something with the time-related idea.
