New Wolfram|Alpha Search Engine

Stephen Wolfram has been developing a new internet search engine called Wolfram|Alpha. This new engine looks at things a little differently. This is a search engine that is computational. Instead of spewing out hundreds or thousands of places to go looking for things like data, this engine lays an interference layer ahead of the search so you get answers.

For instance, enter any two stocks, such as IBM and Apple.

Wolfram|Alpha is still in development so I would expect some improvements in the human interface part. I think this will really help all the data junkies out there. I'll keep an eye on this over the coming months.
