microsoft.com— A free official app you probably haven't heard of. Coverts area, consumption, currencies, energy, lengths, power, pressure, temperature, velocity, volume, and weights. Oh, and it adds.

Maybe if the US actually joined in with the other first world countries (and some third world countries) and started using the (easier, more logical) SI units, then half of these wouldn't even be required.I'm American, by the way.
Another cool thing about google is the google toolbar with google suggest. You can type in your 2+2 and it will suggest =4 without ever having to leave the page you're on! Now that's nifty.
"although to be fair, as galaad2 pointed out, this MS Calc was released in 2005..."Well if you really want to be fair, Mac OS X's built-in Calculator (not the Dashboard widget, the app) has been able to do all of these conversions since OS X 10.2, released in August 2002.
It actually sucks for conversions. You can only convert FROM currencies tied to the Euro. The conversion mode is mutually exclusive of scientific mode. It goes into four-function calculator mode when doing conversions. Also, some of the units don't even exist in real life. They just invented them. Get Calculator++ from iloc.com. It has everything that this calculator doesn't. It's at <a class="user" href="http://www.iloc.com/products/calculator/">http://www.iloc.com/products/calculator/</a>

For conversion needs, use Convert - from <a class="user" href="http://joshmadison.com/software/convert/">http://joshmadison.com/software/convert/</a>It's the program that all engineers I know use for our work.
