So not only do you get the answer quickly, you can now make additional calculations on the virtual scientific calculator.

In addition, when you search for conversion related queries, such as [100 feet to inches] Google will give you a new user interface for that as well:

Google also has a 3D animated graphical calculator since March of this year.
