WolframAlpha a whiz at numbers, stats and stocks, Chris Keall, Business Review (May 16)
Search examples and screenshots of what WolframAlpha can do. This is completely different from any search tool devised so far. It doesn't do matches and links, it does data.
"Its number and data-driven approach covers all manner of areas, from health, books, movies and sports, among many others - and for some narrowly defined seearches in these areas it will become people's first stop. Typing a movie name, for example, gives you its box office and a cast list, but not links to reviews, which is what many would be after."
