I'm letting my brother borrow my graphing calculator, and I keep asking to have it back for my meteorology lab on Wednesdays. So I have been using my ipod touch. The calculator that came on it, if you turn the ipod touch to the side, it will turn into a scientific calculator. Well, that just confuses the hell out of me. So I turned to google. If you are not aware, you can type a math equation into the search bar, and it will give you what it equals. Pretty sweet.

I was working on a lab on wavelengths in meteorology lab yesterday and I typed in an equation similar to this: (2.984*10^6)/3200

That's it!

And this is what pops up:

Weird...I entered the letters in the little type box at the end of the page and it gave me the answer. I just don't understand how that little equation, could be considered a computer virus or spyware.

I've had that when I've been using google as a calculator too much. I guess it might be protecting against other sites abusing it to find answers for their visitors.

Incidentally, did you know that it also does unit conversions, and not just your standard ones either. For example:

1 furlong per fortnight = 1.66309524 × 10-7 kilometers per second
