Awesome! - Google Calculator

Another new Google feature. This thing is pretty powerful, it does everything. For example, try pasting these into a google search field:

2 squared - 2
100f in c
12 mi / 2 in ft
32 in binary
99 in hex
32mi * 3 in km
 
Calculator Info
To use Google's built-in calculator function, simply enter the expression you'd like evaluated in the search box and hit the Enter key or click the Google Search button. The calculator can evaluate mathematical expressions involving basic arithmetic (5+2*2 or 2^20), more complicated math (sine(30 degrees) or e^(i pi)+1), units of measure and conversions (100 miles in kilometers or 160 pounds * 4000 feet in Calories), and physical constants (1 a.u./c or G*mass of earth/radius of earth^2). You can also experiment with other numbering systems, including hexadecimal and binary.

 
nice, I already use them as a spell checker, faster than starting up ms word or going to dictionary.com
 
Great...now it can do math too :|

Only a matter of time before it can simulate nuclear explosions and then declare war on humanity!!! :Q
 
If it can answer this one, then I'd be impressed:

If a man travelling by train from London to Paris is going 150kph at 8:35pm and a woman is travelling from Paris to London going 135kph at 8:24pm on the same track, what time would the trains hit each other and go KABOOM? The distance is...let's say a nice round number of 983.78 km. 🙂
