New Jellybean Easter Egg: do a barrel roll with Google Now
Share:
The same thing can actually be done right on Google’s desktop website, an Easter Egg added to Google.com last year, and it was clearly popular enough to warrant hiding it on Android 4.1. If you don’t have a Jellybean equipped phone to try this out on (and clearly that would be most of us) you can instead watch the video embedded below.
Pretty cool, eh?

LOL pretty jealous Super. I've been trying to figure out a way to port at least the google now apk file but no luck. I've been working on a port for the JB to my note but stuck at a boot loop. Work in progress!

You don´t need Jelly Bean for that!
Voice search is just going the Gooble Search with the stock browser. So it´s enough to go with your browser towww.google.com and do the search "do a barrel roll". It works not only with the desktop website but the mobile too.
And as you can do the search with voice in ICS it works without issues there too.
Tested with ICS and a Google Nexus S. Just click on the microphone of the home page and try!

ARGGHHH!! How long can this fallacy exist!? This is an aileron roll, NOT a barrell roll.
A barrell roll requires the airplane to make a complete rotation upon its longitudinal axis as well as following a helical path (Think a strand of DNA).
An aileron roll only requires the aircraft to do a full 360° revolution about its longitudinal axis, which is what is performed in Starfox.

True, but Aileron Roll doesn't have the same ring to it. Plus, blame Nintendo for not knowing the difference.

"Do a barrel roll" also works in Chrome on Desktop. Also, what tlsmithsr said, "zerg rush", works. You can also do a Google search for "Google easter eggs" for a list of just that, Google easter eggs.
