I love the Onebox these days, that little area at the top of the screen beneath the Pay Per Click results and above the algorithmic. Type "world cup" into your search and it gives you the most recent results. But how about this cool operator "wc COUNTRY" to get more info about a particular country.

In the mobile XHTML interface it's even better giving loads more details.

Pity that Google Local for Mobile in the UK has been decommissioned though, or am I the only person on the planet that spotted it?
