This only works if you have a smartphone. Go to Google and type in either “tilt” or “askew”. You might be surprised with the results page that is displayed. Looks like somebody in Mountain View had some fun last Friday! Undoubtedly this was an April Fool, it works on iPhone’s and Android but not on Windows Phone 7 or the iPad.

If you have any theories on how they achieved this I’d love to hear them.
