Wolfram Alpha

A new kind of search engine is coming to the web. In May, scientist Stephen Wolfram will launch Wolfram Alpha, a search engine that promises to actually answer your questions. For example, when you ask Google a question, the search engine answers with links that give you answers to your question. But when you pose a question to Wolfram, it will actually compute the answer. One simple input field that gives access to a huge system, with trillions of pieces of curated data and millions of lines of algorithms.
