“……and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

–Abraham Lincoln

看完韩国新上映的电影《北逃》(Crossing)，我又止不住流下了眼泪。我是一个反感韩国煽情式电影情节的人，我认为过多虚伪的煽情容易让人找不到现实感。有人把过分煽情的作品比作是”成人的童话”，我觉得恰到好处。但是《北逃》这部作品却是以真实的背景，真实的故事为蓝本，加上韩国片特有的煽情方式而拍出来的一部不能不看的优秀电影。

我们常嘘唏命运的无常，我们也抱怨社会的不公，更是感叹自己的埋没。其实把眼光放到邻国的那些同样是被称作”人”的高等生物身上，你会发现其实人是可以这样的卑微，人是可以这样的愚昧（当然不是他们自己的原因），人是可以这样的不平等。我们也在感叹Freedom of Speech，也想拥有一些所谓的Human Rights，我们也会发些牢骚抱怨生活水平比欧美日韩人差。但比起邻国的”人”来说，我们真的是上帝的宠儿。

强制意志，领袖崇拜，饥寒困苦，饿殍遍野，这几个词语我想都难以形容那鸭绿江畔人民的生活。主人公龙修是一个普通的工人，妻子某天怀孕并染上肺结核，而龙修却难以得到给妻子治病所需要的药。不忍心看着妻子一天天的憔悴的他，冒着生命危险偷渡到了中国，在这里他也发现了很多同他一样的”北逃者”。在中国的日子也颇不安静，警察很快发现并逮捕了部分人，而他幸运的逃脱了。在一个中国人的教唆和帮助下，他选择了冲击外国驻中大使馆。闯入大使馆后他获得了帮助并又一次幸运的被过境到了韩国，在这里，他过着宁静而幸福的生活。但是，使他恋恋不忘的是妻儿，他委托他人去看望并把妻儿接到韩国来，可是妻子由于病重很快失去了生命，而他的儿子俊伊也因为偷渡被抓送到了监狱。幸运的是，委托人花钱让俊伊来到了中国，并安排一个生活在中国的朝鲜人帮忙送他们借道蒙古前往韩国。不幸的是，在中蒙边境，一行几人均被逮捕，而俊伊独自一人逃出并越过了中蒙边境。在行走的过程中，由于沙漠的无边和气候的寒冷，俊伊最终死去。

片中管制监狱的士兵问的一句话”吃饱饭难道比祖国重要么”引起了很多人的愤慨和共鸣，也有很多人以此为题写了不少的评论。我们真的该思考几个问题了，那就是”个人究竟是什么”，”国家究竟是什么”，”个人在国家中的地位、负有的责任以及享有的权利究竟是什么”。这个问题被很多人试图回答，但是没有一个完满而确切的答案。但是我们有接近完全正确的答案的答案，龙修逃到韩国后看到的景象就是我们所索求的答案。有人说，我们没有这种土壤，我们也享受不到这些东西，我们有特殊的情况，那些东西不适合我们。这一套真的很像朝鲜所宣传的那样，西方的东西是不适合朝鲜的。可是金正日号称他是一名网络爱好者，这些东西虽然适合全世界大多数人民包括朝鲜的特殊阶级，但是却是不适合”朝鲜人民大众”的。一种奴性教育在朝鲜进行，一种奴性思维也在朝鲜形成。朝鲜人民看不到事实的真相，也不了解其他国家的人民是如何生存的，谎言和压制掩盖了真相。感谢互联网，也感谢科技的发展，使得我们还有机会看到世界不同地方光明同阴暗的一面。我突然想质问那些冠冕堂皇的”爱国者”，究竟什么是爱国？

上网搜索片刻，终于发现了Zoundry Raven这个不错的软件。安装包有点大，安装文件也有些多，应该是加上了无数语言包以及编码支持的缘故。安装时欣喜的发现，这竟然是有中文版的，而且还翻译得很到位，国内的Maomen承担了翻译工作，在此向原作者及他表示感谢。

Zoundry的使用也相当方便，告诉Zoundry你的Blog地址，Zoundry会自动搜索你的Blog并加以识别，填入账号密码，他就会将你博客所有的文章、图片、标签，乃至链接一并下载下来（这又是一个很好的备份，不过遗憾的是不支持批量备份文章上传，否则的话真是一个一体化工具了）。发布界面十分友好，标准的WYSIWYG（所见即所得）界面，用习惯了Office，你会发现写博客就跟输入文档一样轻松。当然你也可以切换到源码方式。现在我这篇文章就是用Zoundry写成。

Zoundry还有诸多功能，但是我只需要其发布的功能，没有试用，就不介绍了。如果你想了解Zoundry，可以访问其官方网站，或是访问Maomen的Blog。

大四了，身边的人也开始分道扬镳，保研的保研，工作的工作，还有就是整天上自习的考研生。自然地，我也没有时间跟那些师弟师妹玩了。明年三月广东的笔试，六月的机试，一切都是那么真实，无可回避。

没有认真的对待大学生活，直到跟朋友熊哥讨论论文的写作时才发现。一篇关于神七的论文，我是“高屋建瓴”，通篇引用顶尖工程师的文章，而他相反，从通信的原理谈起。我是雾里看花，他是庖丁解牛。直到此时，我才感到其实我们不一样，用心不一样，学得更不一样。我们都抱怨学校的管理，也痛斥学校的教育，但是不同的是，我以高傲的头拒绝吃老师递过来的残食，而他则谦卑的吸取了每一分营养。直到现在，我才意识到，不是学校欠自己的，而是自己欠自己的。

不管如何，我只希望好好做完这最后的论文，认真考完最后两门考试，做好最后的实习。虽然这些都无法给我的大学的分数册上多加上任何一分，但是多做一点总是要好的。

终成定局，虽然不是最后的结局，我也更不希望是最后的结局。

辩证法中的偷换概念

作者：景新

先说一个笑话，不过估计大家不会笑。张三说：“一加一不等于二。”李四不信。张三说：“我不跟你玩虚的，我用事实证明给你看。”李四就更不信了，就等着看。张三拿来一篮子苹果，问：“这是一篮子苹果吧？”李四说“是”，张三又拿来一个苹果，问：“这是一个苹果吧？”李四又说“是”，张三问：“现在，一和一都在这里呢，加一起等于二吗？”

很显然，张三偷换了概念，两个“一”根本不同。

不知道唐吉珂德网友对辩证法学得透不透，我姑且引一下：“有限与无限是一对矛盾，但二者可以相互转化，它们的关系是对立统一的。”下面又说，认为“无限个正数相加，和是有限值”，这就用了辩证法的概念了。也不知道这是不是恩格斯的想法。

用一个具体的例子，一条线段的长度是有限的，而它又可以分成无限段，或者说一条有限长的线段可以由无限段线段组成。所以说无限可以转化成有限。其实何止如此，这说法要是成立，一条线段就是有限和无限的统一，既是有限的，又是无限的，线段概念本身就含有矛盾。

如果这样论证，还可以说直线是有限，无限，零，三者的统一，因为它的长度是无限的，它的宽度是零，面积也是零，可它是一条直线，一条，是“一”，当然又是有限的了。

其实这也是偷换概念。说线段有限，指的是长度。在几何学中，有线段，有直线，线段是有限长的，直线是无限长的。说线段无限，指的可以无限分割。如果我先说线段是有限长的，再说线段是无限长的，这就有矛盾；如果我先说线段是可以无限分割的，再说线段是不可以无限分割的，这也有矛盾。但我说线段是有限长的,又是可以无限分割的，这就没有矛盾。而说线段既是有限的，又是无限的，这句话含混不清。说无限转化成有限，也含混不清。说无限的长度转化成有限的长度，意思才清楚，也可以确定话里有矛盾。

这种混乱，来自于黑格尔。据罗素介绍，黑格尔先假设“绝对”是“有”，不包含任何“质”，可不包含任何“质”的“有”是“无”，于是就得说，“绝对”

是“无”，这就走到了反面，产生了矛盾，为了解决矛盾，就得假设“绝对”是“有”和“无”的“变易”。可还是不行，因为总得有什么东西在“变易”才行。

( 据《西方哲学史·黑格尔》，大概意思是这样。）这也是偷换概念。黑格尔的说法太空洞，我换一个比较接近的例子来说。想象一间空屋子，那里间没有看得见的东西，也没有空气，没有光……总之在想象中把一切我们想得到东西都弄出来。那么屋子里就什么都没有了……慢着，那里面还有空间。这就有点象黑格尔的“有”和“无”了，空间就象不包含任何“质”的“有”，它是存在的，可它里面又没有任何东西，因为没有东西，可以说是“无”。所以空间就可以说是“有”和“无”的对立统一。能这么说吗？说里面没有东西，那没把空间算作东西，说有“东西”，那是又把空间算是“东西”了。说它既是“有”又是“无”，这是偷换概念。至于黑格尔原来的说法，我就不去分析了。

Why to Start a Startup in a Bad Economy？

为什么在经济危机中创业？

作者：Paul Graham

译者：阮一峰

原文网址：http://www.paulgraham.com/badeconomy.html

发表时间：2008年10月

The economic situation is apparently so grim that some experts fear we may be in for a stretch as bad as the mid seventies.

现在的经济状况，明显很糟糕。一些专家担忧，我们大概免不了会有一段像70年代中期那样的苦日子了。

When Microsoft and Apple were founded.

微软公司和苹果公司就是在70年代中期成立的。

As those examples suggest, a recession may not be such a bad time to start a startup. I’m not claiming it’s a particularly good time either. The truth is more boring: the state of the economy doesn’t matter much either way.

这个事实表明，对于创业者来说，经济衰退也许并不是那么糟。当然，我不是说，经济衰退有利于创业。真相说出来，可能会让人失望：宏观经济的变化，对创业能否成功影响不大。

If we’ve learned one thing from funding so many startups, it’s that they succeed or fail based on the qualities of the founders. The economy has some effect, certainly, but as a predictor of success it’s rounding error compared to the founders.

在过去的日子中，我们对许多创业公司进行了投资。我们发现这些公司能否成功，取决于创业者的素质。宏观经济肯定有一些影响，但是起决定作用的是创业者。

Which means that what matters is who you are, not when you do it. If you’re the right sort of person, you’ll win even in a bad economy. And if you’re not, a good economy won’t save you. Someone who thinks “I better not start a startup now, because the economy is so bad” is making the same mistake as the people who thought during the Bubble “all I have to do is start a startup, and I’ll be rich.”

这就是说，真正重要的是你这个人，而不是你何时动手。如果你本人的素质过硬，在经济危机中你也能成功。如果你本人的素质不行，即使经济一片繁荣，也救不了你。有些人的想法是“经济状况这么糟，我最好避免在这个时候创业”。这种想法的误导性，不亚于在经济泡沫时期某些人的想法，“我只要赶上这个时候创业，就能发财”。

So if you want to improve your chances, you should think far more about who you can recruit as a cofounder than the state of the economy. And if you’re worried about threats to the survival of your company, don’t look for them in the news. Look in the mirror.

所以，如果你想增加成功的机会，你不应该去想经济状况的好坏，而应该花大量时候考虑，你能找到谁跟你一起创业。如果你担心你的公司会因为某种原因倒闭，请不要去看电视新闻，你只要照照镜子就够了。

But for any given team of founders, would it not pay to wait till the economy is better before taking the leap? If you’re starting a restaurant, maybe, but not if you’re working on technology. Technology progresses more or less independently of the stock market. So for any given idea, the payoff for acting fast in a bad economy will be higher than for waiting. Microsoft’s first product was a Basic interpreter for the Altair. That was exactly what the world needed in 1975, but if Gates and Allen had decided to wait a few years, it would have been too late.

但是，对于任何创业团队来说，等到经济状况好转时再动手，难道不是一个合理的建议吗？如果你开的是一家餐馆，那么有可能是这样的。但是如果在技术领域，答案就不是这样。技术进步同股票市场的关系不大。如果你有好的想法，早动手比晚动手的回报更大。微软公司的第一个产品，是供Altair计算机使用的Basic语言解释器。这正是市场在1975年需要的产品。假如比尔盖茨和艾伦（注释：微软的另一个创立者）决定等几年再动手，那就会太迟了。

Of course, the idea you have now won’t be the last you have. There are always new ideas. But if you have a specific idea you want to act on, act now.

当然，你现在的想法不等于你将来的想法。但是如果你很确定，现在就想做一件事，那么就不要等。

That doesn’t mean you can ignore the economy. Both customers and investors will be feeling pinched. It’s not necessarily a problem if customers feel pinched: you may even be able to benefit from it, by making things that save money. Startups often make things cheaper, so in that respect they’re better positioned to prosper in a recession than big companies.

我不是说，你可以完全不管宏观经济。衰退会使得你的投资者和你的顾客，都感到手头拮据。但是，顾客感到手头拮据，其实不是问题，反而你可以从中获利，因为顾客需要更便宜的商品。一般来说，创业公司的产品，总是比原有产品更便宜。所以从这个角度看，在经济危机中，小的创业公司比大公司更容易成功。

Investors are more of a problem. Startups generally need to raise some amount of external funding, and investors tend to be less willing to invest in bad times. They shouldn’t be. Everyone knows you’re supposed to buy when times are bad and sell when times are good. But of course what makes investing so counterintuitive is that in equity markets, good times are defined as everyone thinking it’s time to buy. You have to be a contrarian to be correct, and by definition only a minority of investors can be.

投资者不愿投资，这是一个大的问题。创业公司通常都需要一定数量的外部融资。在经济危机中，投资者倾向于不投资。但是，他们其实是错的。所有人都知道，成功投资的秘诀是，危机时买入，泡沫时卖出。但是，这就使得投资不能依靠直觉。因为在股票市场中，牛市的定义就是每个人都认为现在应该买入。如果你想正确投资，你就必须成为一个反向投资者。但是大多数人做不到这一点。

So just as investors in 1999 were tripping over one another trying to buy into lousy startups, investors in 2009 will presumably be reluctant to invest even in good ones.

所以，毫不奇怪，1999年互联网泡沫，大多数投资者会竞相买入不可靠的互联网公司。那么在2009年，投资者也会对优秀的互联网公司犹豫不前。

You’ll have to adapt to this. But that’s nothing new: startups always have to adapt to the whims of investors. Ask any founder in any economy if they’d describe investors as fickle, and watch the face they make. Last year you had to be prepared to explain how your startup was viral. Next year you’ll have to explain how it’s recession-proof.

你得习惯这一点。不过，这不算新鲜事，创业公司永远都必须去习惯那些变化无常的投资者。你随便找一个创业者去问一下，看看他们有没有抱怨投资者，有没有面露难色。前一年，你还不得不跟投资者解释，你的公司如何具备快速发展的潜力。转眼第二年，你又不得不跟他们解释，你的公司如何能够抵抗衰退。

(Those are both good things to be. The mistake investors make is not the criteria they use but that they always tend to focus on one to the exclusion of the rest.)

（这些都不能算错。投资者的错误，并不是他们选择投资的标准，而是他们总是只看到一种可能，而忽略了其他可能。）

Fortunately the way to make a startup recession-proof is to do exactly what you should do anyway: run it as cheaply as possible. For years I’ve been telling founders that the surest route to success is to be the cockroaches of the corporate world. The immediate cause of death in a startup is always running out of money. The cheaper your company is to operate, the harder it is to kill. Fortunately it has gotten very cheap to run a startup, and a recession will if anything make it cheaper still.

幸运的是，不管宏观经济的好坏，防止衰退是你总归要做的事情。你总归必须尽量减少公司运营的成本。多年来，我一直告诉创业者，最可靠的成功途径，就是在公司丛林中，做一只最低等的蟑螂。一旦现金告罄，创业公司就会立即死亡。你的公司运营成本越低，死亡的可能性就越小。幸运的是，创立一家公司其实花费不多，而且经济危机会使得，公司的运行成本变得更低。

If nuclear winter really is here, it may be safer to be a cockroach even than to keep your job. Customers may drop off individually if they can no longer afford you, but you’re not going to lose them all at once; markets don’t “reduce headcount.”

就算发生真正的经济寒冬，做一只开着小公司的蟑螂，可能也比为别人打工更安全。你的客户可能因为付不出钱，而放弃你，但是你不会一会子失去全部的客户。但是如果你为别人打工，就可能被“一次性裁员”。

What if you quit your job to start a startup that fails, and you can’t find another? That could be a problem if you work in sales or marketing. In those fields it can take months to find a new job in a bad economy. But hackers seem to be more liquid. Good hackers can always get some kind of job. It might not be your dream job, but you’re not going to starve.

要是你辞职创业，结果创业失败，你找不到工作，那可怎么办？如果你是销售或者市场人员，这可能是一个问题。在经济危机时，找到一份新的销售工作，会花掉几个月。但是，技术人员的流动性看上去更高一些。好的工程师总是能找到工作的。你也许对新工作感到不满意，但是至少你不会饿死。

Another advantage of bad times is that there’s less competition. Technology trains leave the station at regular intervals. If everyone else is cowering in a corner, you may have a whole car to yourself.

经济危机还有另外一个优点，那就是竞争变小了。技术革新的列车，总是定时从车站发出。如果有人蜷缩在墙角，不肯上车，那么整节车厢可能只有你一人搭乘。

You’re an investor too. As a founder, you’re buying stock with work: the reason Larry and Sergey are so rich is not so much that they’ve done work worth tens of billions of dollars, but that they were the first investors in Google. And like any investor you should buy when times are bad.

你本人也是一个投资者。作为创始人，你就是用工作在买入你自己的股票。为什么Google的创始人Larry和Sergey那么富有？原因并非他们的工作创造出了几百亿美元，而是他们是Google的第一批投资者。同其他投资者应该做的一样，你也应该在经济不景气时买入股票。

Were you nodding in agreement, thinking “stupid investors” a few paragraphs ago when I was talking about how investors are reluctant to put money into startups in bad markets, even though that’s the time they should rationally be most willing to buy? Well, founders aren’t much better. When times get bad, hackers go to grad school. And no doubt that will happen this time too. In fact, what makes the preceding paragraph true is that most readers won’t believe it—at least to the extent of acting on it.

前几段我提到，有些“愚蠢的投资者”一看到经济不景气，就不愿意投资，即使那正是他们最应该买的时候。你有没有点头表示同意？不过，创业者也好不到哪里去。经济衰退来临时，黑客们会去读研究生。这次无疑也是这样。事实上，上一段能够成立的理由，正是在于大多数读者不相信这一点，至少不会在行动上实践。

So maybe a recession is a good time to start a startup. It’s hard to say whether advantages like lack of competition outweigh disadvantages like reluctant investors. But it doesn’t matter much either way. It’s the people that matter. And for a given set of people working on a given technology, the time to act is always now.

所以，经济衰退可能正是创业的大好时机。缺少竞争是有利因素，犹豫的投资者是不利因素，很难说哪个因素份量更重一点。但是说实话，它们都不重要。重要的是人。对于那些已经掌握技术的人来说，行动的时间永远是现在。

We first make our habits, and then our habits make us - John Dryden

I have previously written about how the habit of Exercising Every Day has helped me tremendously. Doing something every day is such a powerful way to form a habit that I thought I would make a list of 24 habits that are worth doing on a daily basis. Note: I have divided these into morning, day and night although some could obviously be under different headings.

The Morning
 1. Wake Early: I am a big fan of waking at 5am and spending time working on myself before going to work. I have written more about this habit here.

2. Exercise: when I had the goal of exercising 4 times a week I found it was very easy to tell myself I will exercise tomorrow instead. Setting the expectation of daily exercise removed this as a potential excuse and I have since reaped the benefits of this daily habit.

3. Review or (even better) Rewrite Your Goals: each day I try to get closer to achieving my short, medium and long term goals. Starting the day by reviewing or rewriting my goals means that I have better awareness of them throughout the day. As Robin Sharma says:

With better awareness you can make better choices and when you make better choices, you will see better results.

4. Read and/ or Listen to Motivational Material: in the morning a whole day of endless possibilities lies ahead. I motivate myself to play my best game by reading and listening to inspirational books/ audiobooks.

5. Visualise the Day Ahead: I like to take a few minutes to shut my eyes and visualise what I want happen in the coming day. It’s amazing how often my desires become reality when I do this.

6. Write a “To Do” list: I like to write out a list in my diary of the important tasks I need to do that day. As they are completed I put a line through them. So simple, yet so effective.

7. Check the News Headlines: I think it’s important to have an idea of what is happening in our community and the world. Also if don’t at least check the main stories, I find it is easy to feel left out of conversations throughout the day.

8. Take a Multivitamin: I try to eat a well balanced diet, but taking a multivitamin daily reassures me that I obtaining the proper amount of vitamins and minerals that I need (**Update: see comments).

9. Tidy Up: a cluttered house can lead to a cluttered mind and fuzzy thinking. I find it’s best to stay on top of things by tidying up each day.

10. Take Time to Look Good: it’s a reality of life that people judge us by our appearance. I take a few minutes each morning to ensure I go out into the world looking the best I can.

The Day

11. Put First Things First: Many people have their day controlled by tasks that are urgent , but not necessarily important. Examples include interruptions, some email and some phone calls. The habit of putting first things first is about organising and executing your life around your deepest priorities.

 12. Connect with Nature: I find spending time outdoors in nature is great for my sense of wellbeing. I have written about this here.

13. Blog: blogging makes me think and write - two things that I can’t get enough of each day. I have written more about the benefits of blogging here.

14. Snack Well: I substitute the chips, candy and chocolate with fruit, vegetables (carrots and celery are great to chomp on) and nuts.

15. Be Proactive: being proactive means showing initiative and taking the responsibility to make things happen. Whenever I want something to happen, I ask myself: what can I do to make this happen?

16. Ping a Friend: I try to send a quick email or text to a friend each day. It’s a great way to stay in touch with friends when I am extremely busy.

17. Save: I save at least 10% of each paycheck. A great way to find the money to save is to break it down to a daily amount, for example $10-15. By taking account of the Latte Factor I find it easy to save this much.

The Evening

 18. Have Family Time: on a typical workday I won’t see much of my partner and son, so I believe it’s important to, at the very least, be there most evenings. Family time is about quantity and quality.

19. Floss: This is essential to reduce tooth decay and gum disease. Why wouldn’t you want to have the best smile possible?

20. Wind Down: I try to switch off the computer and the TV about 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime and let my brain have some down time after a long day. I sleep far more peacefully when I do this.

21. Review My Day: I find this is a great way to hold myself to account for taking action throughout the day. Did I get closer to achieving my goals? Did I complete my to do list? Did my day go as planned? If not, why not?

22. Read: I love to read and do so continuously throughout the day. I find it is especially good to read just before to going to bed. Just makes sure it’s a relaxing book, and not one about nuclear physics (see habit #20).

23. Say I Love You to My Family Members: don’t just assume that your family members know you love them. I say these words to my partner and son at least once per day.

24. Go to Bed At A Reasonable Time: the first habit of this list (waking early) begins by going to bed at a reasonable time and getting a good nights sleep.

For millions of people Google is an indispensable search tool that they use every day, in all facets of their lives. From work or school, research, to looking up movies and celebrities to news and gossip, Google is the go-to search engine.

But instead of just typing in a phrase and wading through page after page of results, there are a number of ways to make your searches more efficient.

Some of these are obvious ones, that you probably know about. But others are lesser-known, and others are known but not often used. Use this guide to learn more about, or be reminded of, some of the best ways to get exactly what you’re looking for, and quickly.

1. Either/or. Google normally searches for pages that contain all the words you type in the search box, but if you want pages that have one term or another (or both), use the OR operator — or use the “|” symbol (pipe symbol) to save you a keystroke. [dumb | little | man]
2. Quotes. If you want to search for an exact phrase, use quotes. ["dumb little man"] will only find that exact phrase. [dumb "little man"] will find pages that contain the word dumb and the exact phrase “little man”.
3. Not. If you don’t want a term or phrase, use the “-” symbol. [-dumb little man] will return pages that contain “little” and “man” but that don’t contain “dumb”.
4. Similar terms. Use the “~” symbol to return similar terms. [~dumb little man -dumb] will get you pages that contain “funny little man” and “stupid little man” but not “dumb little man”.
5. Wildcard. The “*” symbol is a wildcard. This is useful if you’re trying to find the lyrics to a song, but can’t remember the exact lyrics. [can't * me love lyrics] will return the Beatles song you’re looking for. It’s also useful for finding stuff only in certain domains, such as
   educational information: ["dumb little man" research *.edu].
6. Advanced search. If you can’t remember any of these operators, you can always use Google’s advanced search.
7. Definitions. Use the “define:” operator to get a quick definition. [define:dumb] will give you a whole host of definitions from different sources, with links.
8. Calculator. One of the handiest uses of Google, type in a quick calculation in the search box and get an answer. It’s faster than calling up your computer’s calculator in most cases. Use the +, -, *, / symbols and parentheses to do a simple equation.
9. Numrange. This little-known feature searches for a range of numbers. For example, ["best books 2002..2007] will return lists of best books for each of the years from 2002 to 2007 (note the two periods between the two numbers).
10. Site-specific. Use the “site:” operator to search only within a certain website. [site:dumblittleman.com leo] will search for the term “leo” only within this blog.
11. Backlinks. The “link:” operator will find pages that link to a specific URL. You can use this not only for a main URL but even to a specific page. Not all links to an URL are listed, however.
12. Vertical search. Instead of searching for a term across all pages on the web, search within a specialized field. Google has a number of specific searches, allowing you to search within blogs, news, books, and much more:
    • Blog Search
    • Book Search
    • Scholar
    • Catalogs
    • Code Search
    • Directory
    • Finance
    • Images
    • Local/Maps
    • News
    • Patent Search
    • Product Search
    • Video
13. Movies. Use the “movie:” operator to search for a movie title along with either a zip code or U.S. city and state to get a list of movie theaters in the area and show times.
14. Music. The “music:” operator returns content related to music only.
15. Unit converter. Use Google for a quick conversion, from yards to meters for example, or different currency: [12 meters in yards]
16. Types of numbers: Google algorithms can recognize patterns in numbers you enter, so you can search for:
    • Telephone area codes
    • Vehicle ID number (US only)
    • Federal Communications Commission (FCC) equipment numbers (US only)
    • UPC codes
    • Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airplane registration number (US only)
    • Patent numbers (US only)
    • Even stock quotes (using the stock symbol) or a weather forecast regarding the next five days
17. File types. If you just want to search for .PDF files, or Word documents, or Excel spreadsheets, for example, use the “filetype:” operator.
18. Location of term. By default, Google searches for your term throughout a web page. But if you just want it to search certain locations, you can use operators such as “inurl:”, “intitle:”, “intext:”, and “inanchor:”. Those search for a term only within the URL, the title,
    the body text, and the anchor text (the text used to describe a link).
19. Cached pages. Looking for a version of a page the Google stores on its own servers? This can help with outdated or update pages. Use the “cached:” operator.
20. Answer to life, the universe, and everything. Search for that phrase, in lower case, and Google will give you the answer.

For more on Google’s search syntax, see this guide, and this one.
