wolfram alpha

Very, very cool.

I have a feeling I will be using Wolfram a LOT when it is released.

I hope it does sports too so I can ask questions like "what was the career playoff TS% of World B. Free?"

The next generation should use one of these to ask questions.

Anyone try this?

Checked it out a bit today, not so impressed. Could be that I didnt use it properly, or that I didnt have a good question -- at this point, it will be forgotten in my mind and i will continue with google.

Unless i hear otherwise

 

It's not a google rival as much as it is a fact generator.

 

No, it's not just you. It blows. I then asked it why wolfram's search engine sucked so much and it didn't have an answer for that either.
