Google Chrome & Google Search Tricks!

★ Google Chrome ★

(1) Convert Chrome into a text editor:

Open a new tab and paste the following text into the address bar: data:text/html, Then click anywhere on the page to start typing.

(2) Open animated GIF’s in Google Chrome

Open an animated GIF file from your computer by dragging it into a new Chrome tab.

(3) Advanced website bookmarking

Drag the URL from the address bar to your desktop to create a 'quick launch' shortcut. This removes the middle step of first launching your browser to only then access the website.

(4) Create keyboard shortcuts for extensions

Wouldn't it be cool if you could activate the Pocket or Pinterest extensions with a keyboard shortcut? Well you can, and it’s both simple & time saving!

This works for many other extensions but I personally use it the most for saving websites to Pocket for reading later.

Open a new tab, type chrome://extensions into the address bar and navigate to the bottom of the page where you'll see “keyboard shortcuts”. Open it up and assign keyboard shortcuts for your extensions.

★ Google Search ★

(5) Search for specific file types

Search for “Sunset filetype:jpeg”, “Branding filetype:pdf” or any other word + file extension. In most cases this works without the ‘filetype’ addition (i.e. “Branding.pdf”).

Windows 7's 'GodMode' - All of the operating system's controls in one folder.

Although its name suggests perhaps even grander capabilities, Windows enthusiasts are excited over the discovery of a hidden "GodMode" feature that lets users access all of the operating system's control panels from within a single folder.
By creating a new folder in Windows 7 and renaming it with a certain text string at the end, users are able to have a single place to do everything from changing the look of the mouse pointer to making a new hard-drive partition.
The trick is also said to work in Windows Vista, although some are warning that although it works fine in 32-bit versions of Vista, it can cause 64-bit versions of that operating system to crash.
To enter "GodMode," one need only create a new folder and then rename the folder to the following:

GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Once that is done, the folder's icon will change to resemble a control panel and will contain dozens of control options. I'm not sure it's my idea of playing God, but it is a handy way to get to all kinds of controls.

Newton becomes Pascal ~ :-) Only for Engineers with filled Top Floor

Einstein, Pascal and Newton were playing hide-and-seek. Einstein counts, Pascal goes away, but Newton stands next to Einstein, draws a square 1 x 1 m and stands in the middle. Einstein looks at him and says "found you", but Newton replies: "No, you've found Pascal".

[If one remembers, - The name pascal was adopted for the SI unit newton per square metre (N/m2) i.e. Pascal is Newton per square meter]
