>> Hey everyone, welcome to Tekzilla Daily, I'm Veronica Belmont. Google is a great web search tool, but also much more. Using certain keywords, Google can give you exactly the information you're looking for without sifting through search results. For example, type weather and then the name of a city or a zip code and you'll see a five-day forecast right there on the results page. Can't figure out what time it is on the other side of the globe, type time then your city or zip code and wander no more. Define colon insert word here will give you a list of definitions pulled from all over the web. You'll never have to deal with conversion tables again. Google will convert almost any unit of measurement you could possibly think of into something you're familiar with. Are you looking for movie show times? Max Payne in San Francisco will list all your possible choices - well, if you're in San Francisco at least. You can even find flight information or UPS tracking information. So next time you need a quick detail on weather, movie times or even arithmetic open up Google. Now if you have a tip or trick that you wanna share, then e-mail us at tekzilla@revision3.com. And don't forget tekzilla.com it's "the place" to find more tips, tricks, product reviews and how-tos. ^M00:01:11 [ Music ]
