Google Notebooks is not the most popular service of Google, but I find it very useful lately. It provides the possibility to create and easily edit lists online, which can be either private or shared. For the way I organize myself this feature is a bit less than perfect.

The only thing i didn’t like is that it is not integrated in my GMail, as all the other Google services I use and this made it a bit difficult to access. However, the Google Notebooks plugin for Firefox browser fixes this issue.

It installs as a normal plugin and is just a discrete button at the bottom of the browser interface. When you need to bookmark a page, or you need to check already added bookmark, you can click the button and a little version of the Google Notebooks interface appears (as shown on picture). It has the full and complete usability as the normal interface of the Notebooks.

You can download the plugin here. Enjoy!

Using Google Search as a calculator is a commonly known feature. One guy (or girl) discovered that this function can provide also wrong results. If you let calculate Google the following subtraction, it will fail:

399999999999999-399999999999998

Funny fact, I just wonder how this person figured that out… too much time? ;-)
