Remove unwanted accounts in one Go

Tired of getting emails from free web services  that you were once interested in ?

Well,one way is to unsubscribe directly from the mailbox individually or you could go to the website JustDelete.me .It provides direct cancellation links of thousands of web services along with the difficulty level.A difficulty level hard indicates that you cannot disable an account by just clicking on a link.

For example 
When You click on Show Info for Adobe it tells you that your account can be disabled only by calling the customer service by phone.


This site is helpful when you have a large collection of web services and you don't want to open individual mails or google each web service's deactivation  page.However this site contains only worldwide popular services only.For local popular accounts like flipkart(Indian E commerce website) one has to struggle to find the account deactivation link.

Calculator WIthout Leaving Chrome

Has anyone ever wondered why Google calls Its address bar as 'Omnibox'?
Its simply because  its capable of doing lot more than taking addresses.It can perform search on your favourite search engine and now it can even handle some of your routine mathematics without switching to any application or redirecting you to a website.

Any calculation whether complex or simple can be performed by chrome.
The result simply appears almost instantly below the box just as suggestions appear for any normal query.This addition is not restricted to chrome desktop,even mobile versions support this functionality.

Its a very small addition to the browser but shows Google's broad vision of taking user experience to a different level.
