Wolfram|Alpha: making the world's knowledge computable

Today's Wolfram|Alpha is the first step in an ambitious, long-term project to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone. You enter your question or calculation, and Wolfram|Alpha uses its built-in algorithms and growing collection of data to compute the answer. Based on a new kind of knowledge-based computing.

Take a look at the samples. But beware if you don’t have much time on your hands (I’ve been wasting all of my Sunday afternoon here!)

What I wouldn’t give to have access to this back on school days…
