Funny: Search For “Tilt” On Google

Go to your iPhone or Android phone and search for the word [tilt] using Google. The search results displayed will all results at a slight tilt to the right. Our understanding from Google is that this is an April Fools joke that’s still running.

This doesn’t seem to work on the iPad, however. Searching for “askew” will also trigger it, Matt Templon reported to us.

Update: The “tilt” search also works on Google.com in desktop browsers, too.

    Definitely from Google rather than Apple – it works in Firefox if you change the User Agent. Besides – far too silly for Apple. :)

    This easter egg happens on my Android Motorola Droid 2 as well… has to be Google just goofing around with smartphones.
