People use Google for reasons other than simply searching the web.
To check a spelling, for example, type a questionable word into Google -- and if you don't see the "did you mean... ?" line afterwards, you know the spelling's good.
Also available through Google search are phone number lookups; dictionary definitions; stock quotes; and street maps.
The latest addition is the Google calculator.
To use the calculator, simply enter a calculation into the Google search bar (e.g. 2+2).
Of course, this being Google, the functionality gets a little more sophisticated.
Here are some other ways you can trigger the calculator. Try entering any of the following:
- Eighteen times twenty two
- XVI * MCXL
- How many pounds in seven stone?
- Planck's constant * 12!
- Speed of light / ((4/3) boltzmann constant * radius of earth^3))
- Seconds in a day * 1 quattuordecillionth / pi
If you were starting to feel lost at around 2+2, don't worry -- you're not the only one ;)
