30 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do on the Internet
 
So you think you have the Web all figured out? Well, think again.

Did you know that you could charter a private jet online, star in your own
reality TV show, or download songs as you drive your car? That's just the
beginning. You can tell your boss a few unpleasant truths without revealing
your identity and sniff out trends before your oh-so-hip friends get wind of
them. Using the right sites, you can give Google a face-lift, promote your
products or bloviate about your blog, publish a novel, write a business
plan, scan your PC for spies, and get free tech help. You can even use the
Web to uncover government secrets and to predict your own demise. (Those
last two activities will be unrelated, we hope.) Best of all, most of these
sites won't charge you a dime.

Here are some of the more surprising things the Web can do for you:

What a crock! I tried 6 things, one was a 404 error at PCWorld itself
(some joke huh!), and the other 5 were either wrong sites, or the site
was right but it just landed me at home with no link to the subject the
original article suggested.

I gave up after that. I'm not interested in a jet liner.
