Get the local time anywhere - not quite a hack, but a useful little tool regardless. Enter simply 'what time is it to get the local time in big cities around the world, or add the locale at the end of your query, like 'what time is it hong kong' to get the local time there.
Flying. Enter the airline and flight number into the Google search box to get the arrival and departure times right inside Google's search results.
Currency, metrics and other guffin: Google's powerful built-in converter calculator can help you out, convert measurements, show how many seconds there are in a year (seconds in a year) or how many euros there are to five dollars (5 USD in Euro).
Compare items with "better than" and find similar items with "reminds me of". The results will almost always lead you to discovering alternatives to whatever it is you're searching for.
Use Google as a free proxy: Google's cache to take a peek even when the originating site's being blocked, with cache:example.com.
Remove affiliate links from product searches by using -site:ebay.com -site
Find related terms and documents: Adding a tilde (~) to a search term will return related terms. For example, Googling ~nutrition returns results with the words nutrition, food, and health in them.
Make Google recognize faces: A special URL parameter in Google's Image search will do the "Add &imgtype=face" to the end of your image search to just get images of faces only.
