No arguments about how much time is left or when time is up :)

Simply type the following into the google search bar

timer for OR set timer for

Enjoying Apture Highlights

Apture Highlights is a browser extension that lets you experience the power of Google search, and the richness of YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, and Wikipedia without leaving the webpage you are on.

You simply highlight a phrase on any webpage to reveal search results without ever leaving the page.

I agree with Apture when they say it is "fast, powerful, and fun". Oh, and so easy to use as well. Brilliant!!

Secret Google Tips for Researchers

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation produced a series of four videos giving tips on using google for research purposes.

The videos are about 10min long, very easy to follow and do provide some useful basic google search tips, despite being produced over 4 years ago! Also, there does not seem to be a fifth video even though it is billed as a 5 part series!!

Thanks to A.A. Karim for highlighting the series.
