WolframAlpha.com - The Next Google?

Reports in the press today are talking about the new search engine that is hoping to become as big as Google - WolphramAlpha.com. What's more, its British.

Professor Stephen Wolfram, founder of software company Wolfram Research, is launching the new 'computational knowledge engine' in May and is hoping it will not only accurately answer your question, it can understand what you are looking for. Think of the computer in Star Trek or Red Dwarf and you will start getting the idea.

Now as wonderful as this all sounds, as soon as I hear 'it will be just like Star Trek' I begin to worry. However, all will be revealed in May when the new site goes live and I'm sure we will be all on there trying to find the answer to life, love, the universe & everything. And then it can tell us what the right question to ask is.
