The New Scientific Calculator On Google Search



Google is always tweaking its bits and parts. In the latest little change, Google has added a very useful scientific calculator to its search engine. Google Search has always had a calculator. It is just that you had to type in the figures and Google would deduce the results for you and display it in bold above the search results. Now, Google has enhanced that same functionality and added a full-fledged scientific calculator to the search page.
Type in your figures and the calculator appears in all its interactive glory. The calculator has 34 buttons with the scientific functions arranged on the left. You can also make it appear by typing calculator in the search field or in Chrome’s address bar.
The Google Scientific Calculator can also be used in the mobile version of the search engine (both iOS and Android). Depending on your mobile screen estate, you might have view the full calculator in the landscape mode. The added benefit of a calculator in Chrome and mobile is that you can use its voice search to enter the figures and calculate them for you.
The scientific calculator joins the league of the little tricks you can perform with Google Search. For the numerically inclined, it’s another little bow in the arrow along with the graphing calculator that was introduced last year.

That will take you to this screen: You see that you can build your own Avatar using an uploaded head shot like the Obama one above (just an example, guys). Or roll with one of their awesome avatars. I chose to start with a blank avatar by clicking Start with a blank avatar at the bottom of the screen. That takes you to here: I clicked on the filter at the top and told it to filter out everything but male characters and then I saw this: I rolled with Buck and continued. You need to click Select...

MoviePass drops pricing to under $7 per month, if you opt for the annual plan

MoviePass, the subscription service that lets consumers pay a monthly fee to see unlimited movies in theaters across the U.S., is slashing its prices yet again. The company announced today it’s now offering its service for $6.95 per month, down from the current price of $9.95 per month, when customers commit to a one-year subscription plan. That works out to a flat fee of $89.95 annually. The deal is a limited-time promotion, as opposed to a permanent pricing change, but MoviePass didn’t say how long the offer is valid. However, it is open to both new and existing subscribers – the latter who would receive a 25 percent savings on their current subscription if switching over to the annual plan. This is not the first time that MoviePass has dropped its pricing. When the company introduced its $9.95 per month, one-movie-per-day plan this August, down from $15 for 2 movies per month (or more in select markets like L.A. and NYC, and going as high as $50), it saw so many new sign-up...
