Superficial Intelligence

Today's easter egg is found in the very popular Photoshop. To see it you have to open either the Layers, Channels or Paths Window. When I tried it, I did it from the Layers window. Next, you press and hold down the ALT key. With this key held down, click on the options menu button at the top-right of the Layers window. It should look like this:

With the ALT key and the mouse button still pressed down, move over to where it says "Palette Options..." and let go of the mouse button. Behold! Merlin has appeared!

I have no idea what the story is behind this easter egg, but I believe it also appeared in some previous versions of Photoshop.

I was also playing today with yesterday's easter egg, the "why" command in Matlab. My favorite response was "why not?". A deep answer indeed. Tomorrow, we go back to Matlab for another easter egg!
