From Wolfram himself on Wolfram Alpha

A ten minute excerpt from the web demo a couple of days ago. Stephen Wolfram shows some examples of the soon to be released Wolfram Alpha.

As a random addition: I'm now taking an RSS feed of Lifehacker which has passed through Yahoo Pipes and removes a lot of the posts that I'm uninterested in. Can easily be altered to suit your own tastes. My personal feed is a little different from the one posted here. This just takes some trivial tinkering.

Wolfram Alpha webcast

Update: I didn't have a chance to see the webcast, but this site has a pretty detailed discussion of the sort of things that Wolfram Alpha will be capable of. Looks fascinating!

No time to go into the details of Wolfram Alpha (Google it if you haven't heard of it yet), but it promises to be an exciting advance in the way we search the web...or possibly the biggest piece of vapourware this year.

Either way the web cast at Harvard by Stephen Wolfram is due to start at 3pm Eastern Time. Details here.
