| |  WolframAlpha went live today
As it says, Woffram's Alpha has gone live today, not much good as a substitute for Google, but it is an OK front end to an online Mathematica. Wolfram|Alpha

If you type in your birthdate for example...it tell you how many hours of sunlight was on that day. It makes you feel depressed because it tells how many years and weeks you have been living. And I think it was live yesterday because it worked for me. |

I can't seem to get given that joke on Google - what should I type in?
I'm a bit disappointed by Wolframalpha - it's just not as good as I was expecting. However, it has certainly got a lot of potential and I can imagine, over time, it will get much better. |
