Also, Awesome.

I really wish I could apply this website now instead of making humorous queries.

 

[Markgraf]

Well, the damned thing is made by the same people behind Mathematica so one would think it'd be good at what it does.

 

[Pm0n3y]

I share mine with Heath Ledger and Robert Downey Jr! Sweet!

Er... Woodrow Wilson...

Muddy Waters and David Blaine

Hulk Hogan =o

Damn, I'm running out now.

Graham Norton and Hugo Weaving

I share mine with Malcolm X

I don't know who that is, so I'm calling it a win for me

Also, for some reason typing in 'you lost' brings you to the page for Mustard Gas. Odd.

I though i would've been a bit obvious, but then again you don't live in the U.S...

It doesn't know what TF2 is... I'm sticking with google...

 

[LeonLethality]

You just got bookmarked, WolframAlpha.

yup bookmarked its pretty cool still sticking to google though

 

[Cavouku]

What would you do for a klondike bar?

I love this thing. However, It can't even answer simple questions, like:
How to kill a vampire?
How to take over the world?

Of course, it knows the meaning of life,(42) as well as the fact that I share the birthday of King Cole. ( I don't know who he is, but he has a cool name)

Can google tell you how to kill a vampire? No, it doesn't even direct you to a site that can.
It directs you to a site that includes the words "how" "to" "kill" "a" "vampire" (after a bit of trickery with the whole page rank business) which presumably can answer your question. The words mean nothing to google.

WolframAlpha actually computes it on the fly. Only the raw data is stored, nearly everything is generated. The fact that it can parse and process so much stuff is pretty fantastic.

It's nice, but it's not comparable to Google because it's not the same thing as Google. It's not a searchbar, it's a fact-search bar. A question bar. It doesn't direct you to places, and such. It's great for what it is, though.

Well, I probably won't mess with it... I used to use Yahoo, but until the image search became filled with shit from flicker, I quit and went to google... and, like with Firefox, if it ain't a piece of shit, why try something new?

 

[Takoto]

I heard about this ages ago... Not sure if I want to use it or not... xD

 

[SteakHeart]

Wow! I share a birthday with Ian Fleming and Harry s. Truman.

 

[fishbeinb]

There different things wolf dosn't give you links just anwsers

 

[Neesa]

As much as I love Google, being that's it's my start up page in Chrome, I find this little search engine to be quite fun to play with.

My question: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Answer: A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

That made me smile. The end.

 

[Disaster Button]

reported for advertising. Because honestly, who the fuck cares?

I fucking care.

 

[Berethond]

I share mine with Heath Ledger and Robert Downey Jr! Sweet!

Er... Woodrow Wilson...

Muddy Waters and David Blaine

Hulk Hogan =o

Damn, I'm running out now.

Graham Norton and Hugo Weaving

Roy O. Disney

 

[The Random One]

Wow, why is this even being compared to Google? This is like making a thread saying "PS3 just got owned!" talking about how awesome the Star Trek movie is. Sure, the Star Trek movie may have been great (didn't watch it, oh the nerditude) but that doesn't affect the PS3 in the least.

You might make a point saying that it's better than Google at giving answers to questions, but I think nowadays people turn to wikis for that anyway. It might have owned Google if it came out like five, six years ago.

I did find out that the average age of people named "Junior" is 81 years old, so it may have some (useless) use.

 

[Voodoomancer]

Google has a better name.

"wanna find something? Just Wolfram|Alpha it!"

Not as catchy as Googling...

 

[CrashTestZombie]

Just to try this out I asked it a simple question:

"Why?"

"Why not?"

Pure win.

 

[Zeetchmen]

I asked whats the scouter say about his power level?

Nada, sad panda

 

[Joshimodo]

There are few things that can beat google and there are few things that amaze me.
But it appears I have come across something that might be the work of the devil or a gift from God.

This new Search Engine is ........... Phenomenal !
I asked it Algebra questions ! not just the simple but simultaneous equations and quadratics I even asked it Chemistry questions heck i even asked to calculate food ! (1 apple + 2 oranges)

I have asked and searched as much as i could within 23 min and damn this thing can easily chellenge google.

I give to you "Wolfram|Alpha"

EDIT: Oh and do please try typing in your date of birth and spend the next 10 min looking at the results

What are your thoughts ?

It's not a search engine, so it's not comparable to Google. Wolfram Alpha is a supercomputer. It uses advanced mathematics based on data it already knows, rather than searching for somewhere else that does.

 

[Polarix]

Sorry but WolframAlpha can't compete with Google because the two can't be compared. WolframAlpha is a informational database engine while Google is an iternet search engine which are two completely different things. However it does have some really helpful information and it can be very fun to type in movie and tv quotes. I just asked these impossible to answer questions and they actually knew an answer to them!

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

and

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

 

[Blackadder51]

Wow thanks mate, this is fucking awesome. Added to favorites for sure
