“It is Wolfram Alpha, Mr. President. It is the online knowledge base that will conquer the world... And I can walk!”
Maybe the good doctor can walk but, after a brief shakedown of Wolfram Alpha, I was not impressed. It made calaculations, but seemed to know very little, and, on a number of questions it refered me to Wikipedia. I may be biased, but my work does not include too many numbers calculations and Wolfram will not, as yet, pull me away from Google. Click here for a more professional report. (Both Aeswiren and Faux Smoke sent links.)

I too was completely underwhelmed by Wolfram Alpha. Sounds like marketing glitz rather than the birth of Skynet...
