OK, here are some "Power Google" tips, because I'm a geek and not too proud to admit it.
1) Try this search. Then this one.
2) Now this one. And this too.
3) Just for fun, type in "Miserable Failure" and hit "I'm Feeling Lucky" You may have seen this before, but it should be noted that it's most likely a manipulation from outside rather than a hack by Google. Not that they mind, probably. Here's an article discussing it.
Like any portal, Google offers lots of tools on the site, but I love the fact that those are available right from the search box, and have started using them all the time since I found them. Unfortunately the calculator wigs out after a while. It doesn't seem to deal with symbolic quantities very well. They need an operator like "define:" for the calc tool, so you could type in
"calc:Radius of earth in miles ^2 / (radius of earth in miles + 62)^2"
Hey, why are you looking at me like that? I warned you.
Am I doing this wrong? When I type in calc:Radius of earth in miles ^2 / (radius of earth in miles + 62)^2, I don't get anything cool. I even tried it with the quotation marks an I get nothing. Was something supposed to happen? Am I missing a joke? Awww.
That's the part that doesn't work. As I said they need a "calc" operator, but they don't have one. so you just have to hope that it interprets it correctly. (which it doesn't for the expression above)
Okay, so your words are confusing to a person that uses the word "stuff" a lot. They're also ambiguous and stuff.
ok. What I want is a direct google to brain interface. Everytime someone asks me a question at work, I just google a solution for them. Or tell them to do it. But either way, life would be quicker if I was jacked in all the time. I mean I could go totally matrix 2&3 and have a wifi connection into the net. Maybe I could pick it up by induction. That would be sweet. So feasible too.
Aaron, I do believe you've discovered a new verb: to google, meaning to find a solution by searching the internet, probably by using the search engine, Google.
Someone beat me to it :)

Hence its note to Word Spy, an online dictionary that compiles and defines new words popping up in the media. At issue is this Word Spy entry: "google (GOO.gul) v. To search for information on the Web, particularly by using the Google search engine; to search the Web for information related to a new or potential girlfriend or boyfriend."
