Stephen Wolfram is at it again. This time he's going to show that you can make all human knowledge "computable" so that you can ask a computer (albeit one with "access to a huge system, with trillions of pieces of curated data and millions of lines of algorithms") any factual question and it will "compute" the answer. What a guy, I just love the way he fearlessly tackles these massive undertakings. Assuming it works, if there was ever an application that could rival Google search, it could be something like this. See Wolfram's blog entry for more detail Wolfram Blog : Wolfram|Alpha Is Coming!
