A Handy Google Tool

I generally don't use the Google search engine. One reason is just general contrariness - if everyone else is doing it, I don't want to do it. A second reason is that I find KillerInfo more useful because it groups its results into category.

However, Google has recently introduced a very useful feature - a calculator built into the search box (thanks to Ars Technica for this information). You can enter simple arithmetic functions (e.g., 4+5*3) or expressions such as "a foot in millimetres" or "a cup in teaspoons" and it will give you the answer. Handy for cooking or metric conversion!
