Not so long ago, Harvard types decided to make it even better.
If this project takes root, it could totally change the way we access information on the Internet. Granted, I've never wanted to know which is higher/longer, Mt. Everest vs. Golden Gate Bridge. But I have wanted to know what's the best season to visit Thailand or which is a better March vacation between Old Europe and Central America.
From the looks of it, the Wolfram Alpha Project might actually be the true iteration of Web 2.0 that has longed been prophesied about.

awesome. i still wish that "they" would just make universal wireless internet. but until then, this little gadget looks pretty cool. and peter forgot to mention that with this, he would also be able to check all of his TMZ and People updates all day long, wherever he is. oh, how much better his life would be!
Tute picture! I remember that weekend. Emmy posed for some pretty funny pictures today so I will have to email them to you.
the mifi looks pretty sweet. would look into it if i traveled more...
TMZ Pete?

I believe it. And I'll be looking forward to this new feature.
believe it.
but even if it's not TMZ, the huffington post really isn't that far off . . .
