Get The Weather From Google
Here is another Google tips I pick up (from my “friends” at TWIT)…
Wanna know the weather where you are or where your going? You no longer have to wait forever for you favorite weather Website to load. Simple go to the fast loading homepage of Google and type in “weather in [insert your city here].
For example, in Google I typed in “weather in buffalo, ny.” Then I waited for the results to come up in the predictive search results. It will give you some search results. However, take a look at the bottom of the results… It give you a three day weather forecast of the location that you just typed in.
Maybe, someday Google will release its own weather server. Perhaps Google Weather.
Let me know what you though of this tip.

Google As a Calcualator
This little tips is something that you should know about if you live you life in the cloud. You could just use the calculator on your computer. But why not do it the geeky way? Next time you need to figure out some simple math, just go to Google.com and type in a quick math problem.
For example: 2+2=. Don’t click search. Wait for the predictive results to come up. In the results it will give you the answer to the problem. Of course you can use more complicated problems like, 6+3(5*6)= and it will still give you the answer.
I would hope that someday Google makes their own calculator service. In the serve, I would love it to include a graphing calculator. That would be a useful tool for any student that doesn’t have access to a graphing calculator at home.
I hope you, at sometime, employ this tip into your routine.
