How to easily Search in Google using your email?

Here’s how you can do it.

Just send an email to “google@capeclear.com” and put the text of your search query in the “Subject” line. you will get one replay from google with search results.

Black Google Saves energy

A few months ago, TreeHugger Mark Ontkush wrote a post on his blog EcoIron titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year. The post lays out the following train of thought. “An all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts.” Google, which has a white background and gets about “200 million queries a day” could reduce global energy use by 750 Megawatt-hours a year by simply changing the color of its homepage to black. (For more detailed calculations and assumptions check out the original post here.)

In response to this post a black version of Google emerged called Blackle.com. According to Blackle’s homepage at publication time, 4,408.917 Watt hours have been saved by. The site encourages users to “make a difference today [by] … Blackling “energy saving tips” or visit[ing] treehugger.com a great blog dedicated to environmental awareness.” Nice ideas. But how does the search measure up? Very well indeed. Give it a whirl yourself and start saving energy one search at a time. :: Blackle.com

How Google Works !!

Google launches free,online word-processor : Writely

Google has re-launched Writely, the online word-processor they recently bought, in public beta. Access to Writely is now free for everyone. Just sign up for an account. Writely does most things Word does, for free — and saves its output as PDFs and even RSS feeds (subscribe to a word-processor doc!). It features collaborative editing — multiple editors on the same doc at once — and can be used as the editor for writing your blog, saving out to a post instead of a file on your machine. This is a great-looking program for people who have always-on Internet, and for so long as you don’t worry about the NSA demanding that Google turn over its Writely files as part of some “security” procedure. Also: if I were a Google China user, I’d have some doubts about this, given that Google has shown that when it comes to China, keeping the government happy is more important than delivering the best product it can.

GO and Get It here : www.writely.com

What Writely can do:
Create new documents from scratch, upload them from most popular file formats (including Word), or e-mail them into Writely in batches.
Organize your documents by tags, or click to star the important ones. You can see at a glance who last edited a document and when.
Download your documents in batches for safe-keeping (in HTML), or save them individually in PDF, RTF, ODT or Word format.
Just click the toolbar buttons to bold, underline, change the font, make bulleted lists, indent and more.
You can add colors, insert tables, links, images, comments and more. There’s even an option to edit the document HTML, if you want that much control.
Offsite storage plus data backup every 10 seconds makes hard drive failures and power outages no longer an issue.
Pick exactly who can access your documents.
