about:internets Google Chrome screenshot

Here’s a fun thing to do with Google Chrome. If you type about:internets in the Omnibar, you get this. I tried it while connected to my PC via Remote Desktop and it didn’t work. The title of the page said “The Tubes Are Clogged!” instead of “Don’t Clog the Tubes!” I suspect that the tubes are rendered with OpenGL or Direct3D, neither of which are possible to do on Remote Desktop since it is not a hardware accelerated display. Still a nice easter egg nonetheless.
