Wow, that's cool.

But google is still better.

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

Yes. I stuck my mobile phone on record and jammed it in the tree.

@#$@!

Might use it for math problems or similar uses, but search engine? Google.

Well since you were around to hear the crash then it did make a sound but acording to Wolfram if no one was around then it didn't because sound is only vibration and it doesn't become sound unless there are ears that can hear it and transmit it into sound.

buddy you are late to the game in finding this

 

[cleverlymadeup]

the thing about wolfram is there's many a privacy issue with the search engine and what they can and can't do with the data

Reported for advertisement.

It failed my most vital of all tests. I typed in "Tits" in which it gave me everything I didn't want, mostly lists of the various species on bird that share the name.
It's not Google.
It's not Bing.
It's not a real search engine, it's an answer engine, in which case I'll stick to Cleverbot.

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

I care. Pull the pine cone out of yer ass.

 

[infinisynth]

Hmm I'll have to check it out.

 

[open trap]

I asked it.....How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?......the answer? The world may never know. Pure awesomeness.

that was genius

 

[Deleric]

Not very practical, but amusing.

 

[jboking]

Wolfram alpha isn't a search engine. Google didn't get owned. Myth busted.

 

[Lexodus]

I have the same birthday as Miley Cyrus

@#$@!

I'm so much better off. I have M. Night Shyamalan and *shudder* Geri Halliwell. Oh, and Andy Warhol and Lucille Ball.

 

[hansari]

It looks like its only for stats...not an actual search engine.

I also don't see how its gonna get popular with a name like wolframalpha...

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Yeeeeeah, I'm 27.68 years old and I share a birthday with a bunch of people I've never heard of! Whoooooo!

 

[Sewblon]

I can't use it for vanity searches, so it is completely different from Google.

 

[twistedshadows]

Wow people are harsh and mean. I never said that it was replacing google I just said that i was amazed that it was more accurate on data then google.

sigh..... why can't we all just be nice then instantly turn to the hate switch ?

You implied it was similar to Google and that it is better at doing what Google does (or at least that's how I read "Google just got owned!"). It's interesting for acquiring certain information, but it's completely different than Google, and that's why people are being "harsh and mean."

I guess it's kinda cool, said my birthday was on a full moon. : )

It's fun and useful, but it really doesn't compare to Google. Serving a different purpose and all.

Edit: Oh and what's with people reporting for advertising? Surely we don't have to have such tight asses about that rule. Plus I'm relatively sure if you think a thread is wrong or against the rules you shouldn't bump it with a "Report and move on" post because that is also against the rules.
