Computers Make Me Smarter

I just learned about a interesting new web site called Wolfram|Alpha from the creators of the software Mathematica, Wolfram Research. In the words of the company's founder, "If something can be computed, it should be easy to compute."

I entered "Los Angeles" and was given a short list of statistics about the city Los Angeles, California: location, population, etc. I next entered "Los Angeles, San Francisco" and was given a comparison of those two cities. I entered my name and -- you guessed it -- learned a little bit about that other guy. Oh well; I guess it doesn't know everything.
