新华网7月28日电 据科技博客Gizmodo报道,在对谷歌Chromecast电视棒的常规拆解过程中,著名维修网站iFixit注意到在里面居然藏着一个类似于《银河系漫游指南》的复活节彩蛋。

谷歌Chromecast电视棒的型号编号是H2G2-42,iFixit指出,这是道格拉斯·亚当斯经典太空探索小说中有关42这个数字的一般缩写,在书中这是揭示生命真谛的一个数字。这要么是技术人员刻意的模仿,要么只是一个巧合而已。

除了这个小玩笑之外,谷歌Chromecast电视棒里面实在没太大惊喜。也许并不意外,这个单芯片设计的小玩意超级容易打开,一旦打开之后,里面也没有太多可以维修的地方。对于一个35美元的东西,还能指望它什么呢?

During their routine teardown procedure of Google's new Chromecast, iFixit noticed what appears to be a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy easter egg that's hiding in plain sight.

The Chromecast's model number is H2G2-42, which as iFixit points out is the common abbreviation for Douglas Adams' classic space adventure book followed by the "42", which happens to be the meaning of life discovered in that book. That's either an intentional reference or one hell of a coincidence.

Besides that little joke, there's nothing too surprising about the Chromecast's guts. Maybe its no surprise that the single chip design of the gadget is super easy-to-open, and that once it's open, there isn't much inside to repaired. What else do you expect for $35?
