Google's Nexus Q is secretly a Magic 8 Ball

3 hrs.

Considering that it's been around since 1950, most of us are familiar with the Magic 8 Ball. It's a simple toy which'll answer "yes" or "no" questions. You can buy one for less than ten bucks.

Alternatively, you could order a?Nexus Q???Google's?shiny new "social streaming device"???for $299, and get your advice from it instead.

You see, it turns out that the Nexus Q has a little easter egg?? a hidden or secret feature?? which can be triggered by tapping the Nexus Q icon in the device's settings?repeatedly. Once you do that, the screen of the tablet or smartphone currently controlling the Nexus Q will display a glowing ball and offer to solve your dilemmas.

Like a real Magic 8 Ball, the Nexus Q???the Magic Q-Ball??? appears to only handle "yes" or "no" questions. Its responses range from a simple "no" or "you betcha" to cheeky claims that it's too tired to deal with your questions right now.

Want more tech news, silly puns, or amusing links? You'll get plenty of all three if you keep up with Rosa Golijan, the writer of this post, by following her on?Twitter, subscribing to her?Facebook?posts,?or circling her?on?Google+.
