Microsoft Hacker Blog Renamed As Easter Egg
The Hackers @ Microsoft blog has been renamed, afraid the connotation of the word “hacker” would be misconstrued as something illegal. The new name is %41%43%45%20%54%65%61%6d, which is a cute little hack in and of itself.
What does it mean? Just enter javascript:alert("%41%43%45%20%54%65%61%6d") into any web browser’s address bar and a popup will give you the answer. Or you could just hover your mouse over this link and the destination listed by your browser should tell you what’s what.
Okay, lazy, this screenshot will do it, too:
It is hex coded ascii for anyone who is more interested in just javascript.
