Great idea, gay name. Google is kind of dorky and catchy... "Google it". I mean, "WolframAlpha it" just doesn't have that snap to it. :sleepy:

Yeah, but that would be "Wolf It!" in no time. :laugh:
This one caught my eye.
Quotecompute properties of a function of a complex variable (use the variable z)
Must work out something to throw at it. :cheesy:
Agreed. :laugh: "I dunno...go Wolframalphatize it."
Google already does pretty much everything they described - calculations, conversions, etc. I don't like monopolies and I think competition is good, but I don't see this as terribly useful.
Okay, good point. Wolf it is a little better.
I just went and threw a few things at it and it had no idea what to do with it. I do think it's cool but a different animal than google.
How about Incompetent designer + Microsoft software = ????
The thing would probably blow a gasket! :laugh:

Yeah, after looking a little closer it is different than google and I think it will take some time for them to amass the information to answer your queries.
It doesn't work. I asked it what Earendil's pant size is and it gave me the population of Arendal, Norway.

Absolutely. Wouldn't you?

Sorry ... got other things on my mind right now ... I'm declaring a Grammar Holiday beginning now and lasting for the foreseeable future.
So go ahead, everyone ... splice those commas, use all of the exclamation points, dangle those participles, and feel free to end sentences with prepositions.

It's only okay if the preposition is critical to the meaning of the sentence.
