I’m a fan of Lifehacker and subscribe to their feed, which generates a bunch of articles daily on various tips, tricks, cool gadgets, productivity tools, and software reviews. I skim through most of the articles, but do pay more attention to the ones that are computer/software-related. I love learning new tips and tricks that improve productivity. I’ve gathered quite a bit of hacking skills as well. I’ve also discovered a few really cool software applications that I use quite a bit at home and at work!

Earlier in January, there was an article on discovering a few obscure Google search tricks. I’ve given many workshops at my former job on using the Google search engine, so I was curious to see if there were any new tricks that I didn’t already know. Indeed, there was one particular that caught my attention.

7. Compare items with “better than” and find similar items with “reminds me of”

My first reaction was to test it out! I opened a Google page and the first thing I could think of testing was “better than LabVIEW.” *chuckle*

And the result? Nothing is better than LabVIEW! Matter of fact … see screenshot below! A picture is worth a thousand words. I will not write what I saw on this blog lest the site gets hit by spammers and perverts!
