And i dug into google and found some awesone features of it.
For example currency conversions just type

10 USD in INR

it will convert us dollars to Indian rupees and return results.. And remember we should follow standard query

Value CurrencyCode for Country in CurrencyCode for Country 

Indian rupee code is - INR
US Dollars              - USD
Japanese                 - YEN

try another example

just type 

seconds in a year
speed of light  in knots

it will return corresponding results..

Hang on it offer lot more than we expect, The main feature of this calculator is it will accept strings and as well as expressions,humorous units of measurement(like Beared seconds-5ns etc)..

Now we will play with this 

Just type the loneliest number see what it will return.. Amazing right.. it will return '1'
And  "the number of horns on a unicorn" equals "1".
"once in a blue moon" equals "1.16699016 × 10−8 hertz".
"a bakers dozen" equals "13".

And final and most amazing thing just try

the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything

It return '42'.. yes you are correct it will return 42.. You know why? Even I don't know just google it you will find more information and i found some information about this mystery number 42  

 "the answer to life, the universe, and everything", a reference to Douglas Adams's novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The same reference is made when speaking to an artificial intelligence named Meliza next to "the face on Mars" in Google Earth. When the number 42 is typed, the AI produces the output "42 is the answer to the ultimate question about life, the universe, and everything."
