I'm sure most who are interested who've seen this new "Computational Knowledge Engine" but if you haven't, go take a look it has enormous potential.

A very nice man from The Register disagrees about the potential that this Wolfram Alpha has in this article.

Haven't looked at it personally but after reading the above I don't think I am in too much of a hurry at this point in time...

Another very nice man from The Register rather likes it in this article

It's not going to live up to the ridiculous hype attached to it, but then what ever does?

That article you have linked to actually defines a whole lot better what Wolfram Alpha is supposed to be used for - I had been aware of it but didn't actually know what it was and so assumed wrongly that it was supposed to be the new Google which it quite plainly is not.

Been having a play tonight, pretty impressed with the comparison function for chemicals etc. handier than google/wiki for stuff like that, definitely has potential.
