No one would argue the fact that Google is one of the most useful
sites on the Internet. Unfortunately, most people only use about 3% of
its power. Smart Google users, on the other hand, know how to turn
Google into a quick calculator, translate foreign sites, create their
own customized search engine, and search for movie reviews and stock
quotes with special search queries. In this article, we’ll show you how
to do all of that and more.
You'll be a master of the internet with these awesome Google tricks..
2. Set a timer.
If you Google any amount of time,
followed by “timer”, you’ll get a countdown, and you can even make it
sound an alarm at the end – perfect for use in the kitchen.
3. A search for "do a barrel roll" or "Z or R twice" will spin the page...
4. Searching for "tilt" or "askew" will...yep, tilt the page.
5. Split a bill and calculate the tip.
End the struggle of paying the pill
at the end of a group meal by googling “tip calculator”, entering the
full cost, the percentage you want to tip, and the number of people, and
it’ll work out exactly how much you need to pay each. Easy.
6. Play zerg rush.
Another bit of proof that Google just
does not want you to do your work. Destroy the Os by clicking on them
before they destroy the rest of the page (and try not to give yourself
finger cramp in the process).
7. Find and download loads of cool fonts for free.
If you go to Google Fonts,
there’s a huge collection of completely free fonts you can use. You can
either download them to your computer or make them the default font in
your browser.
8. Learn how to pronounce massive numbers.
If you search a number up to 12 figures followed by “=english”, Google will tell you how to pronounce it.
9. Play Atari Breakout.
Simply search “Atari Breakout” on Google Images and that’s your productivity dead for an hour.
10. "Books by..." will list popular books by an author.
11. "Songs by...." will give a list of popular songs by (almost) any artist.
12. Google Translate has a manual feature that allows you to draw characters and symbols.
13. "Graph for (math function)" shows the function plot...(NO CHEATING ON HOMEWORK)
14. "solve circle/triangle/rectangle/..." similarly solves Geometry problems...(WHAT DID I JUST SAY?)
15. Clicking the microphone icon in Google search will allow you to speak your searches and commands. Say, "make me a sandwich" and you might get sassed.
"Show me something cool."
"What time is it?"
16. Searching for "google in 1998" gives you a retro version (without the flannel and grungy millennial angst).
17. Convert currency. Want to find out how much you REALLY spent in dollars in that pub in London? Well, maybe when you feel better.
18. Search "the answer to life, the universe and everything"
19. Find out the distance between cities (and travel time).
