Ever wondered what the weather was like on the day you were born? How about what it cost for the U.S. to put a man on the moon?
Using the usual online and offline research resources, you could spend hours to find the answers to questions like those – if you could do it at all.
Enter Wolfram Alpha, a new search engine created by Dr. Stephen Wolfram that’s about to be launched. Instead of giving you a long list of Web pages (a la Google), it’s intended to provide specific, accurate answers to any question you might pose by combing and “intelligently” cross-referencing sources it finds on the Internet and in private databases.
