I read this in the paper. google now has the ability to work out math problems and give conversions to almost anything. yet another reason why google is the best.

i cant get it to do Inches to CM :-\ cool though

you could do something like
10/12 feet in cm

…I dont know what inches would be; I guess “in” is taken by the in keyword there

pfft I just tried in and it works fine :crazy:

10 in in cm

That is so increadibly ****ing useful

From Family Guy:

(brain and stewie are stuck together with some superindustrial glue Brain has just called the company to see if there is a cure)

Brian: well, the good news is the same company who makes the glue also make a solvent.

Brain: But the bad news is it takes 2 weeks to deliver

Stewie: YOU MEAN WE’RE STUCK LIKE THIS FOR A BLOODY FORTNIGHT?!?!

Oh hehe, I noticed this feature a few days ago when trying to find a conversion for some measurements… I didn’t want to bring it up because I thought I was just stupid for never noticing it before…lol.

Yes, I definitely love the feature =)

did you know they were also testing a feature where you could use certain letters to navigate through the search results?

this was a while ago, dunno if they went through with that.

google is always one steap ahead! that would be really cool if they went through with it, it would be hella useful, just like the new popup blocker on the new toolbar, it rocks!
