What goes on under the hood at Wolfram Alpha is a mystery to my simple mind, but after seeing the results of this search, I hope whatever it is gets an overhaul quickly.
Here I was, thinking that Apple was this tiny David fighting the Microsoft Goliath. Rebels vs Empire my arse. Wolfram Alpha—with its clearly presented data—has opened my eyes, giving new light to the classic flamewar:
Sony’s new 230, 330, and 380 DSLRs were seriously leaked last week, but now they’ve been officially confirmed. One new item of interest is the starting price: $US550, $US650, and $US850, respectively.
Wolfram Alpha, the dorktastic computational search engine, got off to a bit of a rocky start when it launched last night. At least its first fail message had the foresight to include a HAL reference.

We’ve heard rumors on the new Alpha series DSLRs before, and now a larger leak on Sony’s Russian site shows the Alphas have been slimmed down and further geared toward the casual user.
Technology Review did something obvious with their access to Wolfram Alpha: they plotted the computational search engine against Google. The results? As we knew, Wolfram Alpha is no Big G. It’s completely different, and awesome.
The Canon Rebel T1i and Nikon D5000 aren’t the only DSLRs having fun this week, if a new rumour pans out. Apparently, Sony’s preparing something new for the Alpha series—but what?!
We’re big fans of Boxee, the slick cross-platform media centre, so it’s great to see that they’re still adding features. Not only that, but it’s now easier than ever to snag a download.
