Google updates its calculator

[pokerfan]

I wish it was RPN but it's an imperfect world.

Google's search-based calculator is a bit of a God-send when it comes to impromptu math, but now the Big G has gone and extended its functionality by rolling out a full-on, 34-button scientific calculator.

Example: search google for '2³ * 17 * 39103' (bazinga!) and you now get the answer plus a calculator with buttons and everything:



Enter a function such as 'x² + 3x + 18' and you will get a graph.

I have GRPN installed on all my machines as well, so I don't even need to be online. Just grousing.

4. I have a small collection of hps

Three hp-41s, two hp-15s and my first, an hp-25 from college:



But if I'm in front of the computer, I will often just use google or grpn.

back in 1994.
