Google, Math and Weather

Quickly, what does 12 + 34 - 56 * 7 / 8 equal?

Ah, the quick eye noticed that the math problem above is a link you can click on. Did you try it?


Google, the ubiquitous term for search. Do you know everything you can do with Google?

Google has even offered six 50-minute classes by a Google research scientist for those who would like to learn everything there is to know.

For now, check out some of these searches you can do on Google.

faith work: the words faith and work
faith work OR church: information about faith and work or faith and church
"faith and work": the exact phrase faith and work (notice what website comes up first :) )
dfw sfo: book flights between Dallas/Fort Worth and San Francisco International
define: letu: look up the definition of letu
weather: 75602: weather for Longview, TX

These examples and more can be found in this Google Guide by Nancy Blachman & Jerry Peek
