Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

You're right, you can type mathematical expressions right into the Google field in Safari. I would have never thought about that.

Wow, it does a lot more than just that now. You can request information for phone numbers, maps, driving directions, everything. Cooooool. Google kicks ass. Remember WebCrawler? Hahhaaha

I used to use www.metacrawler.com religiously.
www.metacraler.com would bring up a gay porn website 
Good thing the sysadmin at school was aware of the fact

Did you know that Google can be used as calculator now?
Fabulous - rather than foolishly using the CPU sitting on my desk (currently >80% idle), I can send a calculation halfway around the planet.

No doubt typing an equation into your navbar is faster than finding Calculator, loading Calculator (the slowest app EVER... wait, no, apart from Preview) and attempting to type a complex equation. Let alone typing a full equation, THEN getting the answer, rather than doing it stepwise.
No need to be a jerk about it.
But seriously, I think it IS faster.

You know, I forgot completely about WebCrawler. But on topic--its cool that Google has a calculator. Another reason to keep the kids on the computer at school

The Mac OS calculator doesn't have brackets. You can also type complex equations into Google at once.
What's also cool:
Theoretically Google could log the calculations and find the top ten most calculated calculations on earth (or by country). Would be interesting to know what the most calculated calculation is.

That's almost like a politically idealistic free super-to-do-list-app. Maybe.
