Wolfram Alpha may or may not be one of my favourite things in tech right now. It’ll spew movie times, compare NFL stats, help you cheat in Words With Friends and tell you exactly what aeroplane you’re staring at in the sky. And now with tomorrow’s arrival of Wolfram Alpha Pro, the company, in its founder’s words, begins “step 2″. More »
You’re laying on a grassy knoll, staring at clouds, thinking about puppies and wondering if Becky and/or Brian Jones will go with you to the school dance. Then a plane flies overhead. You wonder where it’ll end up. But you no longer have to wonder: Wolfram Alpha will tell you. More »
When Wolfram Alpha first showed up on the iPhone last October, it spent a good six months costing $US50. That was not sane! With the launch today of the app’s Android version, they’re locked in at a perfectly rational $US2. For a compendium of factoids, weather patterns, computational models and yucks? I’ll take it. [Thanks twilsonx!]
Wolfram Alpha has decided it might be a good thing if people to actually use the supercalculator on their phone, so its famously $US50 iPhone (and soon to be iPad) app is now $2.49. And they’re
The first problem with the Wolfram Alpha iPhone app was that it cost $US50. The second problem was that the site’s iPhone web interface was nearly as good as the app, and it was free. Guess which issue Mathematica “fixed!” More »
Results from Wolfram Alpha — the mathematically inclined search engine that everybody hyperventilated about a few months ago then promptly and completely ignored — will soon be rolled into Bing searches. This is fantastic news if you use Bing! (Which you actually might!) More »
Mathematica’s Wolfram Alpha, the occasionally cheesy, unintentionally racist autistic savant of search engines, has finally gotten a mobile version. It’s optimised for iPhones, and therefore Android phones, the Pre, and others (It works fine in Opera Mobile, for example). Search pages are presented in a clean, simple menu format, although results seem mostly unchanged. [Wolfram Alpha via Electric Pig] More »
