wolframalpha Wikipedia + Google = WolframAlpha

A new search engine by the creators of Mathematica – "long-term project to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone…enter your question or calculation, and Wolfram|Alpha uses its built-in algorithms and growing collection of data to compute the answer." Give it a try at www.wolframalpha.com.

It can pull up data on any country if you type it in, or look up complete stock price histories and comparisons, as well as perform complex mathematical computations. If you need more info on how to use it, be sure to check out the examples. You will find that Wolfram|Alpha is simply just loaded with tons of information you will probably never care about.

TMobile's G1 took 14 days to build math software from source
(Gadgets) In an amazing triumph for open source, a hacked G1 was able to compile and run the leading free competitor to Mathematica, Sage. It took 14.5 days to build and 3 days to run automated tests. Some parts of Sage do actually work on the G1. Can we expect a competition to port complex software to the G1?

Un cervello umano o un motore di ricerca? Wolframalpha stare
(Software) Stephen Wolfram, noto programmatore conosciuto per aver realizzato un software di successo come Mathematica, ci stà riservando per il prossimo 29 maggio un nuovo motore di ricerca che sicuramente, se sarà vera la sua funzionalità, darà filo da torcere al grande Google. Naturalmente vi starete domandando il perchè?, come mai?
