Wolfram Alpha on the Side

Firefox add-on puts Wolfram Alpha in your Google, by Josh Lowensohn, Webware (May 20)

Get search results from Google and the new Wolfram Alpha with this Firefox extension that puts Alpha on the side.

Advice: "This makes it a good way to test some of the limitations of the new search engine, as it only covers so many topics. My favorite use for it is to pull up nutritional information for fast food and cast lists for movies. Both are activities that usually require going off the results page to find the information I was looking for, whereas Wolfram simply grabs and displays it in an orderly fashion."
