No Google Killer

By Brad

Over the weekend, the awkwardly named Wolfram Alpha—the “revolutionary” new “computational knowledge engine” was released. But despite some claiming it was going to be a “Google killer,” the project left Slate’s Farhad Manjoo unimpressed:

Wolfram Alpha is a neat concept, and some of the posted sample queries—you can calculate the payment table for a mortgage or how many calories a 40-year-old male who’s 5-foot-10 and weighs 160 pounds would burn if he ran at 4 miles per hour for 30 minutes (272)—are quite impressive-looking. But in my few days of using it, I’ve found Wolfram Alpha almost completely useless.

Ouch.
