Google Calculator

Google Calculator
  <http://www.google.com.au/help/features.html#calculator>

Google search engine has a built-in calculator function.  Just enter
a formula in the standard Google search box and it returns the answer.
Apart from numbers and arithmetic symbols, it also understands units
of measure, conversions and some constants.

A couple of example calculations:
* Approximate Volume of the Earth
  <http://www.google.com/search?q=%284%2F3%29+*+pi+*+radius+of+earth%5E3>
* Something much simpler: 2+2
