Now, we're aware that we talk about Apple rather a lot at Creative Bloq. It's not our fault – the company's products happen to be extremely popular with creatives. But every now and again, it's nice to give the floor to someone else. With that in mind, this week we've seen a few stories about a small, independent tech startup based in California. That's right, I'm talking about Google.

First, we were alerted to a nostalgia-fuelled Easter egg on the Google homepage, which will be immediately familiar to anyone who owned a DVD player in the noughties. (Spoiler alert: it's addictive.)
