Hah! That's pretty brilliant. Nicely done, Vimeo. OK, who else has awesome source-code easter eggs?

On a related note, I know the candidates have nothing to do with this, but I'm extremely impressed with Barack Obama's web presence. I was also very impressed with Mitt Romney's web presence during the election.

Not exactly a source-code easter egg, but MySpace sends a random X-PoweredBy header with each request. A selection:

X-PoweredBy: Nerd Rage X-PoweredBy: The fire of 1,000 SUNS! X-PoweredBy: Interns

Of course it also runs on IIS, and this is MySpace we are talking about, so the geek cred is questionable here.

It's been kicked up a notch, though. It used to be Cold Fusion.
