Is this just me or does this not work under ubuntu? In both firefox and chrome ctrl + g brings up search.

Ctrl+G is a key combo in FF/Chrome on Win/Ubuntu and I only tested Chrome/FF/Safari on OSX when I made it.

Press the keys in sequence (not simultaneously) and it should work.

Warning: Turn your speakers down before doing this. It plays a song.

You have to press ctrl THEN g THEN 6. One after the other.

Great sounds for when you're brogramming with your bros.

Is this a novelty account?

Uncaught TypeError: Object #<HTMLEmbedElement> has no method 'playVideo'

Chrome on a mac :/

Do you have Flash enabled?

Are they detecting whether Flash is available?

To see the video: document.getElementById('likeagsix').style.top="0px"

Could someone post a summary, for those of us on iPhones?

The song "Like a G6" plays.

I'm not an engineer but still found this amusing!

well, I tried every combination of clicks/keypresses I could, but nothing is happening. help? chrome on mac.

Did you turn on the volume?

hah, oh. had my headphones in my walkman. expected something visual to happen :) took headphones off, worked as advertised.

Nothing for me. Chrome on PC. It opens the search box, though and I get to the phone number after typing 6.

Walkman!?

function now_Im_feelin_so_fly()

good marketing ploy :)

I don't get it.
