No. Seriously. I asked it for the answer to life, the universe and everything, and it got it right in a nanosecond.

If in your travels you meet the Buddha, throw him through your tv set.

But we already knew that...
ReplyDeleteNo, but it's up and happening now... for everyone... not just the few who got the beta....
ReplyDeleteGo ask it whatever pops into your head.
I just tried and got a message saying: "Sorry Dave, I can't do that." (Too many users message.)
ReplyDeleteI tried again later and asked it: "Why are we born just to suffer and die?"
It answered: "Wolfram|Alpha isn't sure what to do with your input."
Amazing!
I think everybody is going crazy on it and overloading their capabilities. It would have brought up information on Buddha if it wasn't straining just now. I ain't kidding. I entered "answer to life, universe, everything" and it immediately came up with "42", with cite. So I'm certain it would have come up with a cite from, say, Siddartha if things were cooking. I was in the middle of doing queries on dates when it froze up on me, so I'm pretty sure it's just everybody playing simultaneously that's making it obtuse today.
ReplyDeleteFor half an instant I was surprised at the personalized error message. :)
