Re: Wolfram Alpha

I thought it is a pretty neat program. It calculates the trajectory of satillites and tells you their position, does algebra, and if you ask it the answer to life it answers '42' :-)
It seems like its always being added to, from what I determined when it didnt know about a certain catagory it asked if I was interested in it.
I dont think its supposed to steal traffic from google or anyone, it says that it is not a search engine, it calculates answers with algorithims and such, instead of finding websites.
