Tuesday's Tech Tip: Fooling around with Google

Lifehacker.com highlighted some pretty neat Google tricks. Oh, like what you say? Check dis out:

1. Type what time is it in Norway into your Google search bar. Bam! Instant local time and an easy way to see if it's night-time in Norway. Or wherever. Me, I want to know what's doing in Norway. Who knows what Olav is up to.

2. Convert currency (type "what's 7 US dollars in euros" as an example). Heck, convert any units. Try what's 3 cups in quarts as another example.

I'll stop here. Fact is, lifehacker already did a nice job, so just go over there and check out their article.
