Apple loves to hide little surprises, or "easter eggs," within its software - such as the memorable quotes inside its OS X icons, or the temporary date (Jan 24, 1984 - when the first Macintosh was unveiled) given to apps downloaded from the Mac App Store. A new one has been discovered that's sure to please Lord of the Rings fans.
Typing a simple comment into Terminal reveals a Lord of the Rings timeline that Apple has hidden in OS X. Here's how to access it.
Open up the Terminal app on your mac, and enter:
cat /usr/share/calendar/calendar.lotr
There's nothing funny about this command - it won't change anything, and your Mac won't explode on your desk. It's just a bit of fun. Once you have hit return, you'll be presented with a Lord of the Rings timeline.
