You'll be a master of the internet with these awesome Google hacks.

21.) You can use Google as a timer by entering the time in the search bar. Tick...tock...tick...tock...I was virtually screaming when I heard the sound of my old analogue alarm clock at the end of the count down.

20.) You can ask Google to calculate the tip on dinner.

19.) You can use Google to find out when any holiday is.

18.) You can look up movie release dates in a jiffy.

17.) You can use it like TV Guide and look up the schedules of all your favorite shows.

16.) Trying to be healthy? Get help deciding what to eat.

15.) You can have Google find songs from bands you like.


14.) Or if you feel like reading, find out the titles of books by your favorite authors.


13.) It can check on your flight for you.
[img]http://cdn0.aplus.com/article_photos/000/009/786/0779df91-0ad2-4adb-ad0d-a296ee914874_medium.?1405406645[/img]

12.) And tell you the exact times of sunrise and sunset.
[img]http://cdn0.aplus.com/article_photos/000/009/787/1bbabf5a-7716-4c61-af4c-a70a6d44045e_medium.?1405406644[/img]

11.) It’ll give you info about any company.
[img]http://cdn0.aplus.com/article_photos/000/009/788/2a85ef20-699f-41e7-9b37-40ebfb3f8721_medium.?1405406645[/img]

10.) You can tell it to roll over—and it'll do it for you. Just type in "do a barrel roll." Woooow!!!
[img]http://cdn0.aplus.com/article_photos/000/009/789/15e0c4aa-570e-4ffb-b332-f4b21cc53a1a_medium.?1405406645[/img]

9.) Or you can make it lean over just a little bit by telling it to "tilt." Coooool!
[img]http://cdn0.aplus.com/article_photos/000/009/790/30315ebb-7767-4a95-b1d2-9a188a74eb2f_medium.?1405406645[/img]

8.) Search for “recursion,” and you’ll get stuck in a loop.
[img]http://cdn0.aplus.com/article_photos/000/009/791/2a16aeba-47eb-434f-9b69-f9325802875a_medium.?1405406644[/img]

7.) If you include anagram in a search, Google will create anagrams out of the words you enter!
[img]http://cdn0.aplus.com/article_photos/000/009/792/7a4365ff-a3fc-4af9-b571-8e9d11d3bd98_medium.?1405406645[/img]

6.) And make a joke if you're just trying to define "anagram."
[img]http://cdn0.aplus.com/article_photos/000/009/793/cd9c0abd-11b3-45cd-be89-db12ce0d00b5_medium.?1405406645[/img]

5.) Searching for “Festivus,” brings up the sacred aluminum pole.
[img]http://cdn0.aplus.com/article_photos/000/009/794/24290a8e-344a-4211-9f1a-0367a700dfb3_medium.?1405406645[/img]

4.) Google totally geeks out on you if you enter “binary” or “hexadecimal."
[img]http://cdn0.aplus.com/article_photos/000/009/795/66040c5a-542b-4e61-9985-c94c368e3d69_medium.?1405406645[/img]

3.) Play a hidden game built into the search engine. Enter “Zerg Rush."...Destroy the zeroes before they eat up your search results...cool!
[img]http://cdn0.aplus.com/article_photos/000/009/796/771623b2-821e-4569-bbb3-63f2f4d049be_medium.?1405406660[/img]

2.) Look up the meaning and etymology of any word.
[img]http://cdn0.aplus.com/article_photos/000/009/797/a0616c92-1fae-4ec7-aae2-6f4668543c36_medium.?1405406645[/img]

1.) Lastly, type in “Google 1998″ for a retro version of the search engine.

See? that's why google is the best search engine! @ op, u 4got to put currency Converter. It can also covert from any Currency to any Currency. Even if u don't know the name of the currency they are spending in that country, just type something like :-

'Convert Naira to Columbia'

And it will bring out the latest currency conversion for both country.
