Wolfram Alpha

If you aren’t using “Wolfram|Alpha,” why not? It’s free, doesn’t require any software be loaded on your computer, and takes English language inputs! It’s a “computational knowledge engine.” You can ask it anything! The average weight of all the players on the New England Patriots football team; the distance to the moon in millimeters; crossword puzzles; airline flight info; the tides at your destination--anything you might want to know can be found and then computed to meet your request. Absolutely anything! It’s amazing!! It solves math problems and now can even find the next number in a random-looking sequence. Just type “wolframalpha” in the “http” bar on your computer and there you are! Try it now, think about it, you’ll be hooked! You are welcome!


Note added after initial posting. As I sat weak and weary pondering many things there came a tapping an incessant rapping: my brain was asking is iPhone 4S's Siri with Wolframalpha multi tasking? A check of all things known to man, Wikipedia, was the plan where should I espy Wolframalpha one of Siri's resource consorts by and by!
