So, has anybody else tried it yet?

http://www.wolframalpha.com/ - rather intriguing.

It's very different from the usual search engine paradigm, instead you can ask questions, enter formulae etc.

For some reason though, the page renders extremely slowly on firefox 3 here at work (fedora 10)

That's great. I can work out my age now.

Let's face it, you'd be freaked if it knew :p

Try putting in :

Born 1920

(or whatever year

)

I tried asking it some questions about the Amiga and all it responds with is:

"Wolfram|Alpha isn't sure what to do with your input."

It's shite.

LOL

I'd laugh if it's just a guy on the other end trying to annoy us. Not really a search engine at all.

Rather useless, I'd say. 99% of times Google is more of your friend, and usually it doesn't give answers to trivial questions. Thumbs down.

Well Google and Wolfram both got the answer right when asked:

What is the answer to life the universe and everything?
