GOOGLE LIKE A PRO

Here are some fun tips for people who frequently use Google. The tips will surely make you Google like a pro.

1.      An image search of “Atari Breakout” will allow you play a game on the website where you use a ball to destroy displayed bricks. Do not get carried away and forget why you originally launched the search engine.

2.      Googling any amount of time along with the word timer at the end e.g. “five minute timer” or “5 min timer” will begin a countdown timer and a sound will be heard at the end of the clock.

3.      Lovers of the cosmos can view images from NASA Satellite, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Hubble telescope at Google.com/sky.

5.      You can have fun with digital Legos at BuildWithChrome.com.

This is possibly a good filtering tool.
