Useful new Google features

[Theophylact]

You can now search by UPC numbers and find out the product's full name and who sells it; you can track package numbers; you can find out year, make and model from a VIN; you can find out the status of an airline flight from its flight number; you can go directly to a MapQuest map from a telephone area code; you can go directly to a patent from its number.

A tip o' the hat to the Washington Post.

We use Google as our IE home page. My wife actually thinks IE is a program called Google (the other program for going on the internet being AOL).

Sounds like she needs an account at TechIMO.com

Google is really becoming the only place you need in terms of search.The new toolbar is great as well.

Gotta love Google.

Absolutely. Google Image search is awesome. If you are bored, just type in a word in google and see what you get. If you are still bored, see what images come up

If you are reeeealy bored, type in the word " bored " and do both.
