This is seriously crazy. This search engine just out googled Google and made countless websites obsolete. Information overload as it gives you all the answers that you were looking for and all the ones the ones you hadn't even thought of yet.

blaspheme!
1) Google searched websites to find them. 2) A lot of that Google can do too. 3) Load questions that actually work, real world test will be a lot worst!

If that search engine actually works as advertised, I bet Google buys it out before it even goes live. They will probably call it Google Know It All.
1) This gives you the info you need, forget searching through a bunch of websites. 2) But not like that, they simulated a nutrition table with the list of stuff and just other info you didn't even ask for all in a neat easy to read format. 3) I agree, but if this does work, this just became every Students home page when it comes to research and homework.

I read about this a month ago and was intrigued and scared by the possibilities.
BnM, you are right. This is what Google should have been developing instead of creating a way to actively use the information people give and recieve in order to specifically advertise to them. While Google's idea is also great (it's phenomenal), Wolfram is following the path that has been laid out for sometime. After the creation of the internet, digitizing the world's information into a network of databases that can overlap on another is next. And though I applaud the achievements of the team behind the program; they are laying the foundation for something we may not want.
I've already made threads and rants about the future. I've already explained how education as we know it is a thing of the past; so I don't want to repeat myself. Yet, having all the information the world has ever known in a computable format is the first step to having that information directly loaded into our brains. I've made a thread recently talking about how the human mind can teach a computer to translate our thoughts; how a paraplegic can walk through a virtual world. Once that is reversed; once we find a way to literally have the computer teach us, it's only a matter of time before we have nano-organic computers in our brains that are ready to except any new digital information we feed it. Learning complex subjects and concepts would become instant. At that point, the human race is either fucked or prosperous beyond our wildest dreams.
Still, before we arrive at that point, this is by far the greatest utensil man has ever had.

Bah, I keep entering impossible integrals and it keeps finding the answer :@ ("imaginary error function" wtf?)
I agree, it must be stopped before it kills us all.
Someone needs to go back in time and become their own grandfather! It's the only way. Fire up the LHC!
Edit: I bet you wouldn't know what to do with that search. (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=robot+apocalypse)

Based on the thoughts I'm having from this no one should ever put me in charge of marketing something, I'd just use that power to screw with people. If I had something that truly was smarter than Google I'd do everything in my power to name it Skynet. Also, I would have delayed the LHC and turned it on for the first time in December 2012.

You can tell this was made by super nerds. I look forward to not thinking in the near future. Can the internet collapse of 2012 save us from Idiocracy? Stay tuned!

In unrelated news, Wolfram Alpha announces that they have been bought out by an unnamed conglomerate right as they were switching over to Wolfram Beta. Look for a more details to follow in the coming weeks.

Looks like it can handle a wide range of math problems. Guess they'll have to make homework harder now.
